§ EARL WINTERTON (Sussex, Horsham)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether 933 the new stables at Tidworth, intended to house the horses of the 2nd Dragoons (Scots Greys), which it was stated would be finished at the latest in September, 1907, have yet been completed.
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. HALDANE,) HaddingtonIf the noble Earl will refer to my reply to a Question put on this subject by the hon. Member for the Gainsborough Division on the 11th instant, he will find that I informed the House that it is hoped these barracks will be completed by the end of next month. The delay has been occasioned by abnormally bad weather.
§ EARL WINTERTONHas the delay been caused solely by bad weather?
§ MR. HALDANEYes, I believe that has been the sole cause.
