§ Mr. E. WOODasked the Secretary of State for War whether it is proposed to dismantle the South Camp at Ripon; 1458W whether, in the event of this being done, he is aware that a proposal is under consideration for the continued utilisation and extension of the camp railway for agricultural purposes; and whether, in any dismantling, he will leave the railway intact until the matter has been decided?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLIt is anticipated that South Camp, Ripon, will not be required much longer for the accommodation of troops, and the camp, together with the railway, will be handed over to the Disposal Board. The railway will no doubt remainin situ until the whole, of the hutments have been taken away, and this will take some considerable time.
