Sir F. HALLasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that the War Office are still in possession of the searchlight station situate at Green Lanes, Dulwich; whether the searchlight was removed many months ago; whether a caretaker is still retained to look after the old huts; whether the Estates Governors of Alleyn's College, Dulwich, at the request of the military authorities, made an offer to purchase the huts two or three months ago; and whether, considering the college is desirous of obtaining possession of the site at once, which includes several good tennis courts, he will give instructions for the land to be returned to the Dulwich College authorities without further delay?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLThe searchlight projector was moved from this station some time ago, but the huts still contain the engine and dynamo which, owing to the difficulty and cost of removal, the Disposal 1547W Board are endeavouring to dispose of on the site. The huts cannot be sold until their contents have been disposed of.
