§ Mr. THORNEasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether his attention has been called to the annoyance caused by machine-gun practice at Bedford Barracks, which are situated in the centre of a thickly populated district; if he is aware that many of the tenants are engine drivers engaged on night duty and that they are unable to obtain proper rest in consequence; and whether an alternative site can be found for firing practice?
§ Mr. COOPERNo, Sir. I am not aware of any complaints regarding this matter, but I am making further inquiries, and will communicate with the hon. Member.
