HC Deb 23 January 1913 vol 47 c637W
Mr. CROOKS

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that one-half of the married quarters known as Cambridge Cottages, Woolwich, consist of one room, without scullery, water-closet, or water; that women have to journey from fifty to 150 yards, and in some instances use a steep flight of stairs, to obtain water for domestic purposes, and that these quarters have been condemned by medical authorities; and whether provision will be made in the Annual Estimates to convert these quarters into two-roomed quarters, with scullery, water-closet, and water facilities?

Colonel SEELY

A certain number of new quarters are being built, and improvements are being carried out in Cambridge Cottages, Woolwich, as funds become available.
