HC Deb 06 December 1922 vol 159 cc1781-2W
Major WARING

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether Knightsbridge Barracks are permanently to be occupied by troops; the value of these premises; and whether, in the interests of economy, he will consider disposing of the site and buildings?

Lieut.-Colonel GUINNESS

Knightsbridge Barracks will be required for probably the next two years to accommodate a half battalion of Foot Guards who cannot be accommodated in Wellington Barracks during the partial rebuilding there. At present, therefore, the question of the future disposal of Knightsbridge Barracks cannot usefully be taken up. I am not in a position to give a valuation of the site.
