§ MR. GOULDING (Worcester)To ask the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that the big guns in the fortification at Singapore have been dismantled; and if he can state when it is proposed to replace these guns by new ones.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) The old pattern guns have been dismounted, but a certain number have been retained in their present works until new guns can be mounted. The new works for the new guns have been commenced.
