§ 16. Mr. Championasked the Undersecretary of State for Air if he will cause an inquiry to be held into the conditions at the camp at Deenethorpe, Upper Benefield, at which bad conditions are reported, with lavatories beyond description, cooking bad, the cookhouse intended for 600 made to serve well over 1,000, and training done on the perimeter regardless of weather conditions.
§ Mr. StracheyThe station is at present about 30 per cent. above its usual strength, owing to its temporary use for the training of recruits. This will end in about two months time. Living and working conditions have sometimes been rather difficult during the bad weather. The standard of messing is said to be good. However, I am having further inquiries made.
