§ 31. Mr. Glenvil Hallasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is now in a position to reply to the representations, made on behalf of the Parkwood Methodist Church, Golcar, for the return to them of their Sunday school and institute, now being only partially used by the military authorities?
§ Mr. StanleyI much regret that, owing to the lack of any suitable alternative accommodation in the neighbourhood, it is not possible to release these buildings.
§ Mr. Glenvil HallIs my right hon. Friend not aware that the drill hall is not being fully used, and that the loss of both these buildings means a great financial hardship to the church concerned? Could he not see his way to allow them to have at least one of the buildings?
§ Mr. StanleyI have looked into the question of whether full use is being made of the local drill hall, and I am informed that it is. I very much regret the inconvenience, but this is a particularly difficult area for billeting, and at the moment there is no alternative accommodation.
