HC Deb 29 July 1947 vol 441 c245
32. Mr. Hurd

asked the Secretary of State for War when the residents of Thatcham, Berkshire, may expect to re gain the use of the footpath closed during the war for the purpose of an ordnance depot; and if a decision has now been reached about the future of this depot.

Mr. Bellenger

I regret that I am not yet able to give a decision on the future of this depot, and that until this question has been settled the reopening of the foot path cannot be considered.

Mr. Hurd

While the right hon. Gentleman is making up his mind, can he not allow the people of Thatcham an alternative right of way to get to and from their jobs in the mornings and evenings?

Mr. Bellenger

I think that matter is under consideration.

Mr. Hurd

It has been under consideration for two years.

Mr. Medland

That is not long.
