§ 8. Sir Stanley Reedasked the Minister of Works when it is proposed to release the Penn Wood Camp, which is part of the Common at Penn Street, near Amersham, Bucks.
§ Mr. KeyThe camp will be released when possession has been obtained of the huts at present occupied by squatters, I cannot at present say when this is likely to be.
§ Sir S. ReedWill the Minister look at that Question again, seeing that the de-requisitioning of this common, of which the parish has been deprived for all these years, has been under discussion between his Department and the local authorities for two and a half years, and the question of the squatters can be dealt with by the local authority once the Government relax their control over the common?
§ Mr. KeyIf the local authority will deal with the question of the squatters and provide them with alternative accommodation, I will de-requisition the place as soon as the squatters are moved out.
