§ 30. Mr. LORIMERasked the Secretary of State for War if it is his intention to make considerable alterations at the Didcot depot; and, if so, can he give the approximate cost?
§ Mr. WALSHThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. The estimated total capital cost of the building services authorised at Didcot is 1134 £186,900, of which £71,700 is estimated to fall on this year's Vote. I would refer the hon. Member to pages 202 and 203 of the Army Estimates and to page 12 of my Memorandum on Army Estimates, which was issued in February last.
§ Mr. LORIMERWhy is it proposed to extend the Didcot depot while at Chilwell there is ample room for any number?
§ Mr. WALSHI have already stated in the memorandum which I first issued that I would, on the Estimates, give the whole of the reasons for this particular policy.
