§ 28. Lieut.-Colonel HENEAGEasked the Secretary of State for War how many barracks in the Aldershot Command are now condemned; and what is the minimum cubic feel allowance per man?
§ Mr. SHAWThere are no barracks in the Aldershot Command which have been condemned. The minimum cubic space allowed for British troops at Home stations is 600 cubic feet a man.
§ Lieut.-Colonel HENEAGEHaving in view the outbreak of cerebro-spinal meningitis, is the right hon. Gentleman satisfied that the minimum space is adequate under modern conditions?
§ Mr. SHAWI am answering a question on cerebro-spinal meningitis later, but I have no information that this cubic space is not sufficient, or that it has any connection whatever with the disease mentioned.
