§ Viscount DUNCANNONasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that the housing scheme for Dover, which is a matter of great urgency owing to the pressing demand for provision of new houses for the working classes, is being held up by the refusal of the local military authority to consider the sale to the Dover Corporation of the Ropewalk meadow, in spite of the fact that its sole use during the War has been as a recreation ground, whereas there is other ground obtainable for recreation purposes; and whether he will give this matter his consideration?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLNo application has been received in the War Office, but I am having the matter investigated and will write to my Noble Friend as soon as possible.
