HC Deb 05 February 1908 vol 183 c854
MR. YOUNGER

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War the maximum number of men and horses quartered in Piershill Barracks, when the Scots Greys were stationed there; and the maximum number of men and horses quartered in these barracks since the Royal Artillery were substituted for a cavalry regiment.

MR. HALDANE

The maximum number of men and horses of the Scots Greys quartered in Piershill Barracks was 493 men and 370 horses, and the maximum number of the Royal Field Artillery has been 341 men and 192 horses.

MR. YOUNGER

Are not the figures just given for the Royal Artillery rather more than the average number of Scots Greys at the barracks at the time the right hon. Gentleman declared them insanitary?

MR. HALDANE

I think not, but I will inquire.
