HC Deb 29 July 1908 vol 193 cc1482-3
MR. STARKEY (Nottinghamshire, Newark)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War what is the reason for the proposed transfer of the headquarters of the 4th Notts and Derby Regiment from Newark, in Nottinghamshire, to Grantham, in Lincolnshire.

MR. HALDANE

It is a question of sufficiency of accommodation, but no decision has been arrived at to transfer the headquarters of the 4th Notts and Derby Regiment from Newark to Grantham.

MR. STARKEY

Is there any intention of closing the barracks at Newark?

MR. HALDANE

No decision has yet been come to.
