§ Mr. MAITLANDasked the Secretary of State for War how many barracks in this country arc now unoccupied; what he proposes to do with these unused buildings; is he aware that Sheerness 488W barracks have been unoccupied for some time; and can he, in the disposition of troops, arrange for these barracks to be again used?
§ Mr. SHAWThe barracks unoccupied in the British Isles are situated in Jersey, Guernsey and Alderney, and Sheffield. It is necessary to retain these barracks in case they are required in the future to accommodate troops from abroad. The Senior Officers' School is now accommodated in Sheerness barracks.
