HC Deb 13 March 1919 vol 113 cc1490-1W
Mr. MACQUISTEN

asked the Secretary of State for War whether Thetford Camp, Norfolk, was used as a training camp up to the end of November, 1918; whether orders were then given to have the said camp altered to a dispersal camp by 1st January, 1919; what was the cost of such alteration; whether orders have now been given to have Thetford Camp changed back to a training camp; and what was the cost of such alteration?

Mr. CHURCHILL

Thetford Camp was used as a training camp up to the 18th November, 1918, when it was converted into a dispersal camp, the cost of such alteration being £l,250. Owing to the satisfactory progress made in demobilisation, it has now been found possible to close the camp as a dispersal camp. It will be reconverted to a training camp at a, cost of only £250.
