HC Deb 18 March 1919 vol 113 c1896
38. Mr. LAMBERT

asked the Secretary of State for War if, pending a decision as to the future of the proposed depot at Cippenham, Slough, he will suspend action for commitments at those works?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I will announce the decision of the Government in this matter on Thursday next.

Mr. LAMBERT

How does my right lion. Friend propose to announce it—by answer to a question or on the Consolidated Fund Bill?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I could announce it in answer to a private notice question, or by leave of the House. I might make a statement on the subject after questions, if Mr. Speaker would approve, when I address him on the subject. But it might be very convenient that it should be raised on the Consolidated Fund Bill.
