§ Major GLYNasked the Secretary of State for War whether, when Knightsbridge barracks were built as quarters for the Household Cavalry, that site was taken from the area of Hyde Park on payment or; riot whether, if Knightsbridge barracks is to be continued for the use of a battalion of Foot Guards, it is intended to carry out the necessary alterations at an early date; whether, if it is not to be continued as barracks, the site will be sold; and, if so, to which Government Department will the sale price be credited?
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSNo payment was made for the site of Knightsbridge Barracks, which remains part of Hyde Park subject only to War Department occupation. The barracks will continue to be required for military purposes, though not necessarily for the accommodation of a battalion of Foot Guards, and such alterations as may be necessary will be carried out in due course.
