HC Deb 24 November 1927 vol 210 c2061
72. Mr. T. KENNEDY

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is aware that land extending to about five acres at Campbelltown, Kintyre, occupied as garden allotments, has been acquired by the education authority for the purpose of being converted into a playground for the grammar school; that the present tenants will suffer serious hardship through this disturbance of their tenancy; and whether, in view of the fact that there is other suitable land available for playground purposes in the vicinity of the grammar school, any steps can be taken to protect the interests of the allotment holders?

The SECRETARY of STATE for SCOTLAND (Sir John Gilmour)

I am aware that the education authority have been in negotiation for land as a playing field, but I have no information as to the acquisition of any particular site. I will, however, have inquiry made into the matter.
