53. Mr. MacLaren

asked the Minister of Health whether he intends to take action to comply with the request made by the camps sub-committee of the Council for the Preservation of Rural England to check the speculation in land values owing to the demand now being made for sites for evacuation camps, camp schools, and holiday camps?

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Health (Mr. Bernays)

So far as concerns the sites for the proposed 50 camps to be erected by public corporations on behalf of the Government the matter is being fully considered in connection with the necessary legislation.
