§ MR. WHITMORE (Chelsea)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether the refusal of the London County Council to take charge of the guns allotted to London has been communicated to him; whether he has received an offer from the Council of the city of Westminster to take charge of them; and, if so, 1201 whether he will entertain this offer favourably.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Arnold-Forster.) The refusal of the London County Council has been communicated to the War Office through the General Officer Commanding Fourth Army Corps. The allotment of the trophies referred to within the area of the Fourth Army Corps is for the General Officer Commanding to decide, but I understand that one gun has been allotted to the city of Westminster.
