§ Mr. BRACEasked the Minister of Health whether, before investing the 433W Office of Works with compulsory powers for the temporary acquisition of the Buttrills Recreation Ground, Barry, as a centre for the treatment and training of discharged disabled soldiers, he made full inquiry and gave the local authority opportunity to make representations on the matter; whether he is aware that this ground before the War was used for recreative purposes, and its diversion for other uses has been a great hardship to the 40,000 inhabitants in the district; that the local authority's claim made to the War Department for the cost of reinstatement and for payment of the interest on the capital borrowed for the purchase and fencing of the ground has not yet been made; and whether he will review this matter with a view to considering any alternative sites for the establishment of the treatment and training centre?
§ Dr. ADDISONI would refer my right hon. Friend to the answer which I gave in regard to this subject on the 20th ultimo. The question whether alternative sites should be considered is not for me.
