HC Deb 16 November 1926 vol 199 c1660
8. Mr. HORE-BELISHA

asked the Secretary of State for War whether it is the intention of the War Office to close the Raglan Barracks in Devonport?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

The North Raglan Barracks, Devonport, have been temporarily evacuated on the posting of a battalion to newly completed barracks at Catterick. But it is the intention to keep the Raglan Barracks available for another battalion until such time as troops return from the Rhine.

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether that battalion will be a battalion of the Devons, in which these barracks would be most appropriate?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

That I cannot say.
