HC Deb 13 November 1906 vol 164 cc1284-5
VISCOUNT TURNOUR

I beg to ask tho Secretary of State for War whether, as it is proposed to do away with a cavalry station in Scotland, he will consider the advisability of again stationing a cavalry regiment at Preston Barracks, Brighton.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. HALDANE, Haddington)

These barracks are not large enough to accommodate a complete cavalry regiment. They are capable of holding a Brigade of Royal Field Artillery and for this purpose they are being retained.

VISCOUNT TURNOUR

I hope the right hon. Gentleman, in spite of the fatigues of last night's prolonged sitting, will to-night give me a personal interview so that I may show him reasons for reconsidering his decision.
