HC Deb 09 March 1908 vol 185 c1088
SIR HOWARD VINCENT (Sheffield, Central)

To ask the Secretary of State for War whether it is intended to remove the whole of the Duke of York's School to Dover when the buildings there are completed, or whether he would be disposed to retain the present buildings, or a portion of them, at Chelsea, where the school is of such interest to the people of London, in order to increase the numbers of soldiers' sons trained and maintained by the State; and if it is decided that no part of the existing school can be retained, how is it proposed to appropriate the site.

(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane). It is intended wholly to remove the school from Chelsea to Dover. I am not in a position at present to give any information as regards the appropriation of the site.
