HC Deb 30 October 1934 vol 293 c7
10. Mr. HICKS

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether any decision has been reached to move the Royal Arsenal from Woolwich?

Mr. HACKING

No, Sir.

Mr. HICKS

In view of the answer, and the persistent rumours regarding the removal of the Royal Arsenal, is it possible for the Minister to make an early statement, in order to allay the anxiety of people who are dependent upon it for their livelihood?

Mr. HACKING

As the hon. Member knows, the whole matter is now under inquiry but I do not think that it will be possible to make any early statement.
