HC Deb 28 January 1930 vol 234 cc876-7W
Brigadier-General CLIFTON BROWN

asked the Secretary of State for War what was the cost of converting the riding school in the cavalry barracks, Aldershot, into a garage for the newly mechanised cavalry regiment; and whether, as that regiment is now to be moved and replaced by another cavalry regiment, he will say what will be the cost of converting the garage at Aider-shot back into a riding school and of providing a suitable garage for the mechanised regiment in its new quarters?

Mr. SHAW

In order to avoid expense, in case the accommodation were again required as a riding school, temporary arrangements only were made at Aldershot, at a cost of approximately £675, for garaging the vehicles of the Cavalry Armoured Car Regiment there. It has not yet been decided to move the regiment from Aldershot and the second part of the question does not therefore arise.
