§ 66. Mr. Richardsasked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the considerable opposition to the proposed gunnery school in Pembrokeshire, he will consider its removal and establishment elsewhere?
§ The Secretary of State for War (Mr. Hore-Belisha)As was explained in the answer given to the hon. and gallant Member for Pembroke (Major Lloyd George) on 16th February last, no suitable alternative site can be found.
§ Mr. RichardsIs it true that the War Office has attempted to find an alternative site?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaYes, Sir. In 14 different counties we have examined closely 25 different sites.
§ Mr. RichardsWhy is it that when complaints are made in Wales nothing is done in the matter, and in the case of England it is quite easy to remove them from one place to another?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaIt depends on the validity of the complaint.
§ Mr. RichardsIn view of the unsatisfactory nature of the answer, I beg to give notice that I will raise the matter on the Adjournment.
