§ Mr. W. R. Duckworthasked the Minister of Health what are regarded by his Department as essential conditions in the selection of sites for the establishment of evacuation camps?
§ Mr. ElliotApart from the normal requirements for a satisfactory camp of any kind, the dual purpose which the Government have in mind for the 50 camps proposed to be erected, namely, to serve as school camps in peace time and to be available for evacuation purposes in war time, implies that the sites must be within reasonable distance of the large urban centres and of adequate water supplies and drainage systems, and be capable of being so developed as to be inconspicuous from the air.
