HC Deb 21 January 1947 vol 432 cc20-1
32. Mr. Palmer

asked the Secretary of State for War if he will reconsider the possibility of releasing hutments near the Windmill, Wimbledon Common, for use by the local authority for temporary housing purposes.

Mr. Bellenger

I regret that when the hutting near the Windmill, Wimbledon Common is no longer required for quartering troops, it must be dismantled and re-erected elsewhere for the reconstituted Territorial Army, who are seriously short of essential accommodation.

40. Mr. Palmer

asked the Secretary of State for War the number of troops in actual occupation, and the total capacity of, the hutments near the Windmill, Wimbledon Common.

Mr. Bellenger

The number of troops occupying these hutments is about 130, but the figure fluctuates slightly. The capacity of the camp is 150.
