Sandown Park (Rent)

HC Deb 04 December 1945 vol 416 c2088

43. Mr. Keeling

asked the Secretary of State for War what rent is being paid for Sandown Park; and for what purpose it is being used.

Mr. Lawson

£10,000 a year, fixed by the General Claims Tribunal. It is used to accommodate a training unit.

Captain Marsden

How soon does the right hon. Gentleman expect that Sandown Park will be free for its usual peacetime purposes?

Mr. Lawson

I cannot say, but the amount is fixed by the General Claims Tribunal, which is an independent body appointed for the purpose. I cannot say how soon it will be released.
