HC Deb 22 June 1948 vol 452 c1121
35. Mr. Skeffington-Lodge

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he has considered the unanimous resolution sent to him by the joint Synod of the Convocation of York protesting at the proposal to establish an anti-tank artillery range near Bamburgh and Holy Island; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Shinwell

This proposal was the subject of a public local inquiry on 16th June, the findings of which are not yet available. At the inquiry representations were made regarding Holy Island. In these circumstances I do not think that it would be desirable for me to make any statement now.
