HC Deb 25 July 1944 vol 402 c599W
Mr. Creech Jones

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty in what circumstances a contract was made with Messrs. Butlins for the sale of the two Admiralty camps in Caernarvonshire and Ayr when no longer required; and why these camps were not disposed of in a free market.

Mr. Alexander

The circumstances leading to the establishment of the Caernarvonshire Camp were explained by my hon. and gallant Friend the Civil Lord in the Debate on the Adjournment on 28th March last. The circumstances attending the Ayr camp were similar.
