HC Deb 08 November 1949 vol 469 c98W
37. Mr. Odey

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that four caretakers have been appointed at dispersal site No. 1 at Pocklington to guard huts which have been vacant for years and which have been declined by the local authority as unsuitable for conversion into dwelling houses; and if he will expedite the derequisitioning of the whole site in accordance with the promise given by his Department in July last.

Mr. Shinwell

The release of dispersal site No. 1 at Pocklington is now being carried out and all possible action is being taken to expedite the derequisitioning. The caretakers on the site are employed for the purpose of safeguarding the hutting pending its disposal.
