§ MR. ORR-EWING (Ayr Burghs)To ask the Secretary of State for India if he can state whether reports have been made during the last two years on the condition of the 87 barracks and married quarters occupied by British troops at Aden; and if any steps will be taken in the near future to improve these buildings.
(Answered by Secretary Lord George Hamilton.) It has been reported that the quarters occupied by the warrant and non-commissioned officers of the Ordnance Department at Aden are in an unsatisfactory condition, and I understand that the question of erecting new buildings is under the consideration of the Government of India. I am not aware that, the other barracks and quarters occupied by British troops have been unfavourably reported upon.
