HC Deb 01 August 1946 vol 426 c230W
Mrs. Middleton

asked the Minister of Health on what date the control of the camp known as Shapter's Fields, Plymouth, passed into his hands; what use he intends to make of the premises; and on what date his representative entered into negotiations with the Plymouth City Council regarding the use of a portion of the camp for housing purposes.

Mr. Bevan

Actual control of the Shapter's Fields Camp has not so far passed to my Department. The question of its use for housing will be further discussed with the Plymouth Corporation in the immediate future. With regard to the last part of the Question, the Corporation inquired about the use of the camp for housing earlier this year but deferred consideration of the question until a decision had been reached on a possible alternative; use.
