HC Deb 05 February 1908 vol 183 c854
MR. YOUNGER (Ayr Burghs)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War, whether any progress has been made with the selection of a site for new cavalry barracks in Scotland.

MR. HALDANE

The reply is in the negative.

MR. GULLAND (Dumfries Burghs)

Will the right hon. Gentleman consider the suitability of Dumfries, where the War Office owns an excellent site, which will be vacant now that it is proposed to transfer the Militia from there?

MR. HALDANE

Many applications have been received, and all will be considered with the utmost partiality.
