25. MARQUESS of TULLIBARDINEasked the Secretary of State for War why and under what circumstances the War Office have ceased to construct the fortification and other works at Cromarty; whether the original plans approved by the War Office are being carried out by the Admiralty; and what has happened the money voted for the purpose to the War Office?
§ Colonel SEELYNo plans for the defences of Cromarty were ever approved by the War Office and no money for this purpose was voted in Army Estimates.
§ Colonel SEELYI do not think the Admiralty are doing Army work. They are doing Admiralty work.
MARQUESS of TULLIBARDINEIs this not the first time the Admiralty are looking after the land fortifications of this country and were not the Army dealing with the fortifications at Cromarty?
§ Colonel SEELYThis is a question for Debate, and I cannot reply to a matter of policy at Question Time.
