HC Deb 31 March 1913 vol 51 cc45-6W
Mr. FREDERICK WHYTE

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he proposes to acquire new premises in the City of Perth for the purpose of accommodating in one building the various departments of the Army which are now housed in different parts of the city; and, if so, whether he can state the names of the offices thus affected?

Colonel SEELY

An offer has been made by the local authorities for the sale of a building in Perth to the War Department. The proposal is being considered with regard to the cost and the advantages that may be gained by its acquisition. The offices affected would appear to be those of the headquarters of the Territorial Highland Division, the No. 1 District and Records, and District Paymaster's, and the Royal Engineers and Army Service Corps.
