HL Deb 24 June 1886 vol 307 c198
VISCOUNT BARRINGTON

asked Her Majesty's Government, Whether, as reported, it was proposed to mutilate or destroy Calshot Castle; and, if so, whether the evidence upon which the destruction of so ancient a monument had been decided upon could be laid before this House previous to carrying out so unnecessary an act?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Lord SANDHURST)

said, he could give the noble Viscount the assurance that no alteration whatever in regard to Calshot Castle was in contemplation.
