HC Deb 15 February 1945 vol 408 cc375-6
16. Mr. Keeling

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how soon he intends to remove the ban on camping within a mile of military establishments on the South Coast.

Mr. H. Morrison

The present restrictions upon camping to which my hon. Friend refers are operative throughout the country but the number of military establishments to which they are applied has been greatly reduced as the result of a review undertaken by the Service Departments last September, at the time that the general prohibition on camping within 10 miles of the coast from Duncansby Head to Hingistbury Head was revoked. I hope it may be possible still further to reduce the number of establishments to which they are applied before the camping season begins, but it will probably be necessary to retain some restrictions until the- end of hostilities with Germany.
