HC Deb 19 October 1909 vol 12 c269W
Mr. C. H. CORBETT

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will reconsider his decision and make a small grant to the Uckfield rural district council towards the increased (doubled) expenditure for repairs on the Poundgate new road rendered necessary by the damage done by the troops encamped near Crow-borough in August of last year?

Mr. HALDANE

The question of making a grant was fully considered at the time the claim was made, and in the absence of any fresh facts bearing on the matter there do not appear to be any sound grounds for a reconsideration of the decision.
