§ LORD CASTLEREAGH (Maidstone)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that the barracks at Tidworth are still lit with oil; if it is proposed to introduce electric light, and thereby mitigate the chances of fire; 713 and will he say whether the barracks at Tidworth are insured against fire risks.
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. HALDANE,) HaddingtonThe introduction of electric lighting instead of oil is entirely a matter of funds; none are available at this moment for this purpose. It is not the practice to insure Army barracks against fire risks.
