§ MR. CLAUDE HAY (Shoreditch, Hoxton)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War what sum is to be spent during the present financial year upon the barracks at Piershill.
§ MR. HALDANE£2,250 will be spent on these barracks during the present financial year. The bulk of this expenditure is in connection with their re-appropriation for artillery.
§ MR. HALDANEYes, I think so.
§ MR. HALDANEYes. The great difficulty is the situation and the antiquity of the buildings, which makes the barracks unsuitable for a whole cavalry regiment.
