HC Deb 03 June 1919 vol 116 cc1812-3
37. Sir A. FELL

asked the Secretary of State for War if he will state when the camp on Wimbledon Common will be closed and the common restored to the use of the public; if this camp includes the finest part in the centre of the common; and if he promised when the commons were taken that they should be the first places to be restored to their proper use when the War was over?

Mr. CHURCHILL

It is the intention to vacate the common land at the earliest possible moment when it is no longer needed for military purposes, but I regret that it is not possible at present to fix a dale by which it will be vacated. As regards the last part of the question, I do not recollect any specific promise having been given.
