§ 23. Mr. Toucheasked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that since October the Dorking and Horley Rural District Council have been trying to get building materials released from his Department's dump at Horley as these 961 materials are urgently required for the council's temporary housing programme on Horley Garden Estate; that they have now been informed that his Department do not now intend to release any of these materials; and if he will get this decision revised in view of the urgent housing needs of the district.
§ Mr. J. FreemanThe surpluses referred to in my right hon. Friend's reply to the hon. Member on 8th October have been disposed of and the dump now contains only component parts of hutting and camp structures and some cisterns which cannot be released since they are required for military use. I am informed by my right hon. Friend the Minister of Works that the surpluses already disposed of were unsuitable for the needs of the Dorking and Horley Rural District Council.
