HC Deb 06 May 1947 vol 437 c203
37. Mr. Palmer

asked the Secretary of State for War if he will now release to the local authority, for housing purposes, the camp at Raynes Park, recently occupied by German prisoners of war, and about which the honourable Member for Wimbledon has had correspondence with him.

Mr. Bellenger

The future of this camp is under consideration at the moment, and I regret that I am not yet able to make any announcement about it.

Mr. Palmer

Would my right hon. Friend send an answer about it very soon, because it is a matter of great urgency to the district, and it is occupied by squatters to the great embarrassment of the local authorities?

Mr. Bellenger

I will do my best to give an early answer.
