§ 44. Mr. Emrys Hughesasked the Secretary of State for War what is the cause of the delay in handing over Pennylands Camp, Auchinleck, to the Ayrshire County Council for housing purposes; and when the camp is to be handed over.
§ Mr. ShinwellThis camp is not now needed by my Department, and I have arranged for its release.
§ Mr. HughesWill the Secretary of State also consider seriously the possibility of abandoning the prosecution of the miners whose action pushed the War Office to this decision?
§ Mr. ShinwellThat is quite a different question.
