§ 19. Sir ARCHIBALD WILLIAMSONasked the Secretary of State for War if he will state what is now the position of the efforts to obtain a rifle range near Elgin; how long these efforts have lasted; what is the reason that suitable land has not been obtained; and why a reply has not been sent to the letter of the Territorial Force Association of Morayshire, dated 26th May?
§ Mr. TENNANTThe negotiations alluded to in the answer given to my hon. Friend on 18th June are still proceeding.
§ Sir A. WILLIAMSONWill the hon. Gentleman say why no answer has been sent to the Territorial Force Association, who wrote so long ago as the 26th May?
§ Mr. TENNANTI can only say that the negotiations are not complete, and you cannot send them answers until a decision is arrived at.
