§ Mr. Hicksasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that the contractor for the erection of buildings, at a place of which he has been informed, has failed to carry out his contract; and what steps are being taken for the completion of the work?
§ Mr. LawI am aware of this case, and the contract has been terminated under the conditions of the contract. An early completion of the camp is essential, there has been no time to go to tender for a fresh contract, and the work is, therefore, being completed by a Royal Engineer unit.
