HC Deb 14 December 1944 vol 406 cc1349-50W
Mr. Goldie

asked the Secretary of State for War whether firing is still taking place on the condemned rifle range at Warrington; and, if so, whether he is yet in a position to announce an approximate date when local residents will be relieved from the continuing annoyance caused thereby.

Sir J. Grigg

This range is at present being used for a few hours on about ten days in every month. When firing times are being arranged the convenience of those living nearby is met as far as possible. The range is urgently needed to train infantry instructors, and it is likely to be used for this purpose for some time to come.
