HC Deb 25 March 1925 vol 182 c454W
Commander BELLAIRS

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty on what date the Forton barracks and infirmary of the former Royal Marine Light Infantry were closed; how many men they accommodate; and to what uses they have been put?

Mr. DAVIDSON

The answer to the first part of the question is, the end of July, 1923. The establishment had accommodation for about 1,000 Marines and is now in process of conversion to a Naval Boys' Training Establishment, funds for which are provided in the Navy Works Estimates for 1924–25 and 1925–26.
