HC Deb 19 July 1927 vol 209 c205
8. Mr. HARRIS

asked the Secretary of State for War for what purpose he intends to use the Knightsbridge Barracks; and, if it is not required for War Office purposes, will he consider handing it over to a public authority for housing purposes?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

Knightsbridge Barracks are still required for military purposes for which no alternative accommodation is available.

Mr. HARRIS

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

Use, and good use, is being made of the barracks.

Mr. HARRIS

Is it not a fact that only the dwelling parts of the building are in use and that the valuable stables are lying practically vacant?
