§ 15. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the purchase by the War Office of a further 6,300 acres of land in Wiltshire, he is now in a position to have the Army huts and other buildings near Stonehenge moved to a place where they will not be visible from the monument?
§ Commodore KINGNo, Sir. The area purchased would not be convenient for the Larkhill ranges.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYWill you be able in any way to remove these huts out of the vision of Stonehenge?
§ Commodore KINGI think I informed the hon. and gallant Member some time ago that the cost of the developments has already reached £150,000 to £200,000 on that site, and it would be impossible to sacrifice that money.
§ Mr. ERNEST BROWNIs the hon. and gallant Member aware that the position of these huts really makes a wholesale monstrosity on that skyline and that there is plenty of land in the possession of the War Office on other skylines near which would not interfere with the amenities of Stonehenge?
§ Commodore KINGI cannot accept the hon. Member's statement
