HC Deb 05 February 1913 vol 47 c2169
6. Sir REGINALD POLE-CAREW

asked the Secretary of State for War, whether he can state what was the final balance credit to the State from the Imperial Government farm at Middleburg, Cape Colony, when the farm was closed down by order of the Army Council; to what fund was the sum credited; and when it was credited to the State?

The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Colonel Seely)

This farm was not run as a public undertaking, and no balance therefore was due to the State. The credit balance amounting to £244 11s. 8d., when the farm was closed down, being a private fund, was assigned in 1910 to charitable purposes connected with the Army.
