HC Deb 14 February 1946 vol 419 cc511-2
25. Mr. Ernest Davies

asked the Minister of Health whether the War Office has yet agreed to release the Bullsmoor Lane A.A. site, Enfield, to enable it to be used as a permanent housing site, for which purpose it was originally acquired by the Enfield Urban District Council.

Mr. Bevan

The War Office have agreed to release the greater part of the area under requisition.

Mr. Davies

Whilst thanking my right hon. Friend for the action he has taken in this case, may I ask whether he can urge on the Secretary of State for War that action should be taken to release the A.A. sites which are still in his possession where they are required for the erection of permanent houses without waiting until representations are made by hon. Members, as had to be done in this case?

Mr. Bevan

If the hon. Member will direct my attention to any particular instance, I will certainly expedite derequisitioning.
