HC Deb 30 June 1913 vol 54 cc1507-8W
Mr. BOOTH

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he can give the following information in regard to the temporary buildings recently put up at Osborne for the accommodation of naval cadets, that is, the total cost and the cost per foot cube; and will he submit copies of the plans?

Mr. CHURCHILL

No temporary buildings for the accommodation of cadets at Osborne have been erected recently. If my hon. Friend alludes to the buildings comprising the establishment generally, their total cost was about £197,000, of which sum about £100,000 was expended on buildings of a not very permanent nature. The cost per foot-cube will vary with the different kind of building, and is not recorded. It would need considerable investigation to work this out in detail. If my hon. Friend would state of which buildings he would like to see plans, I shall be very pleased to show them to him.

Forward to
