§ 28. Mr. BOWERMANasked the Secretary of State for War whether the Army Council, in deciding to exercise the option to purchase from the Corporation of the City of London the premises in Deptford formerly used as a foreign cattle market, took into consideration the fact that it will thereby be relieving the Corporation from carrying out the statutory duties imposed upon it under the Act of Parliament of 1869?
§ Mr. WALSHYes, Sir, the position of the Corporation under the Act cited was duly considered when the question of purchase was being dealt with.
