HC Deb 27 July 1915 vol 73 cc2150-1W
Mr. FIELD

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether he is aware that there is already a temporary duly-staffed receiving depot at Island Bridge for certain articles required by the Army in Ireland and elsewhere; and, in view of the fact and that practically all the representative public bodies in Dublin city and county and other bodies have passed resolutions on this subject asking that the existing system, which has been found serviceable, will be extended and made permanent, whether he will arrange for a fully-equipped permanent depot in Dublin so as to insure greater economy and despatch to the Government and at the same time general convenience?

Mr. FORSTER

I am afraid I can add nothing to the answer which I gave to the hon. Member last Thursday.
