HC Deb 22 July 1946 vol 425 c299W
Mr. Drayson

asked the Secretary of State for War why the 150 Polish troops who recently arrived in the Sedbergh area have been billeted in Baliol school and not Ingmire Hall military camp, which has accommodation for 300 men and is at present only occupied by 40.

Mr. Lawson

The spare accommodation at Ingmire Hall Camp is about to be used for German prisoners of war required locally for harvesting.

Mr. Drayson

asked the Secretary of State for War if he will give a definite date on which he will derequisition Baliol school and grounds, Sedbergh.

Mr. Lawson

I cannot say at present when this property is likely to become available. I understand, however, that the premises are not required by the owners for scholastic purposes.
