HC Deb 01 February 1918 vol 101 c1936
25. Mr. FIELD

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether he can state what progress has been made in fitting up the Westland Row premises as an examining and receiving depot; whether he is aware that the adjoining houses can be obtained for extensions and connection be constructed to the Dublin and South-Eastern Railway, which will enable communications by rail to all parts of Ireland and to Dublin port; and whether operations of examining and receiving will soon be commenced?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the WAR OFFICE (Mr. Forster)

The matter is being pursued, but I am afraid I can make no material addition to my answer of the 22nd January.

Mr. FIELD

I will put down another question in a week or so.

Mr. FORSTER

I am afraid I cannot give details from day to day as to the steps that are being taken. I can assure my hon. Friend that there is no unnecessary delay.
