HC Deb 21 January 1930 vol 234 c9
13. Mr. FREEMAN

asked the Secretary of State for War whether the fort at Penarth Head has been found to be redundant; and what action he proposes to take concerning the matter?

The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Mr. T. Shaw)

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. As regards the second part, steps will be taken to dispose of the property as soon as the guns and stores have been removed, and as my hon. Friend the Financial Secretary stated on 10th December last, the Penarth Urban District Council will be given an opportunity of purchasing at a fair price.
