§ 33. Mr. Sorensenasked the Minister of Education how many camps will be available this year by arrangement with the National Camps Corporation 1403 Limited; approximately, for how many children this will provide; and whether Kennylands Camp will be in use this year.
§ Mr. PickthornThe National Camps Corporation own 30 camps, of which 25 are at present occupied by children sent by local education authorities. The total capacity of these 25 camps is 6,000 places. Kennylands Camp is, and will continue to be, in use for children from Essex.
§ Mr. SorensenCan the Minister inform me whether this represents an increase or a decrease over preceding years, and, approximately, how many children will be accommodated in Kennylands Camp?
§ Mr. PickthornIt is about 200 now. I am afraid I have not armed myself with the figures for recent years, but if the hon. Gentleman will remind me I will send him a note about it or answer a Question on another day.
