HC Deb 17 February 1948 vol 447 c171W
30. Mr. Carson

asked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that the apparently dilapidated condition of Wellington Barracks compares unfavourably with that of a number of private houses in its neighbourhood which have been newly repainted; and if he will cause the barracks to be redecorated forthwith.

Mr. Shinwell

Structural repairs are first necessary and are being started immediately. Painting will follow.
