§ MAJOR ANSTRUTHER-GRAY (St. Andrew's Burghs)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he is now in a position to state how long it will be before he can make any announcement with regard to the building of cavalry barracks in Scotland, or how long it will take approximately to complete these barracks once they are begun.
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (MR. HALDANE, Haddington)As I have already informed the House, the question of providing cavalry barracks in Scotland turns on great questions of cavalry policy which are now being worked out. I cannot, therefore, undertake to give the hon. and gallant Member any further information in regard to the points raised in his Question at the present time.
§ MAJOR ANSTRUTHER-GRAYCan the right hon. Gentleman answer the last part of my Question, as to the time of building?
§ MR. HALDANEThat depends on the size.
§ MAJOR ANSTRUTHER-GRAYA barracks for a cavalry regiment. What would be the cost?
§ MR. HALDANEThat depends on whether we get a site given.
