HC Deb 26 March 1906 vol 154 cc831-2
MR. BELLAIRS (Lynn Regis)

To ask the Secretary of State for War whether, seeing that The Military Works Act, 1903, estimated that £500,000 would be realised by the sale of barracks, which was to be applied to works on various foreign stations sanctioned under the Act, he can state what proportion of the £500,000 has been realised; and whether, allowing for depreciation, it is believed that the entire sum will be obtained.

(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) Under present circumstances it is not likely that the credits will reach the anticipated sum. As yet they only amount to a very small sum.
