HC Deb 04 November 1908 vol 195 c1191
SIR GILBERT PARKER (Gravesend

To ask the Secretary of State for War, whether it is intended to concentrate the troops in South Africa at some point in Cape Colony, like Port Elizabeth or elsewhere, to form a kind of Aldershot; and, if so, what is intended to be done with the cantonments at Middleburg, in the Transvaal, at Bloemfontein, and elsewhere.

(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) No, Sir. There is no such intention.
