§ 14. Sir W. ESSEXasked how many men are at present encamped at Grove Park Camp, Lee, and for how many is dry-floored and rainproof shelter provided; and whether the men have any regular drills or other occupation helpful to them in a military sense?
§ Mr. FORSTERAs I have stated already in answer to the hon. Members for Burnley and the Bridgeton Division of Glasgow, the men at Grove Park are not encamped but in houses or billets, which are dry-floored and rainproof. The men are recruits, and are being trained each day in their military duties.
§ Sir W. ESSEXWill the hon. Gentleman tell us how long it is since they were taken out of camp?
§ Mr. FORSTERSpeaking from recollection, I think about ten days.
