HC Deb 14 December 1933 vol 284 c516
87. Lieut.-Colonel MOORE

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office if he will state the number of sites in Great Britain owned by the War Office but not actually used at the present time for any object connected with War Office matters or with any industrial or other undertaking, giving the localities in each case and the acreage concerned?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the WAR OFFICE (Mr. Duff Cooper)

There are a number of properties owned by the War Office which are not in use and are for disposal. I should be pleased to show a list of them to my hon. and gallant Friend.

Lieut.-Colonel MOORE

While accepting the hon. Gentleman's offer with thanks, may I ask whether he will consult his right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade with a view of ensuring, if possible, that new industries are made aware of the possibilities of War Department land that is for disposal?

Mr. COOPER

Yes. Sir.
