§ MR. WEIR (ROSS and Cromarty)To ask the Secretary of State for War, in view of the fact that the casemates at Fort George Barracks were built in 1745, and that casemates have been condemned for many years by every officer quartered in these barracks, will arrangements be made for the erection of new barracks or suitable sleeping accommodation for regiments quartered at Fort George.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) My hon. friend is mistaken in supposing that officers quartered in barracks have the power to condemn any portion of them. There is no present intention of providing new accommodation.
