HC Deb 15 May 1956 vol 552 c1814
4. Mr. Hannan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is aware of the rapid deterioration of former Service camps; how many families are still occupying them; and when he expects them to be rehoused.

Mr. J. Stuart

I am aware that conditions in some of the camps are not good, but the number of families has been reduced to 350 as compared with 700 a year ago and 1,200 in 1954. We are exerting constant pressure to secure the rehousing of the families and the closure of all the camps at the earliest possible date.
