HC Deb 22 July 1915 vol 73 cc1652-3
63. Mr. HOGGE

asked the Under-Secretary for War what is the objection to holiday camps being allowed to continue for the season in Westmorland and Cumberland; whether he is aware that the prohibitory order is likely to ruin certain owners whose camps are in existence and who have booked up visitors for the season; and whether the Government propose to compensate such owners?

Mr. TENNANT

I am informed that the restrictions against holiday camps in these areas have lately been removed. Applications to hold holiday camps should be forwarded to the General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Northern Command, at York.

Mr. HOGGE

Can the right hon. Gentleman assure me that men who are in these camps shall not be disturbed until their application to be allowed to remain has been considered?

Mr. TENNANT

I will see if that can be done.
