HC Deb 18 February 1935 vol 298 c32
38. Mr. THORNE (for Mr. HICKS)

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether he is now in a position to make a statement as to whether it is proposed to remove Woolwich Arsenal?

Mr. BLINDELL (Lord of the Treasury)

I have been asked to reply. No, Sir. This question is a very large one, and a decision is not to be expected in the near future.

Mr. THORNE

Has the hon. Member seen a report which has appeared in most newspapers that it is possible that Woolwich Arsenal is going to be moved to Pembroke?

Mr. BLINDELL

I have not seen the report, but I will convey the information to my hon. Friend.
