§ Mr. CROOKSasked the Secretary of State for War and Air whether he is aware that the immediate clearance of the Royal Air Force stores from Charlton Rope Walk would result in the employment of 50 persons; and whether action will be taken to expedite the removal of these stores?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLAs the right hon. Member was informed, in reply to his previous question on the 5th November last, the clearance of this depot depends entirely on the disposal of surplus stores at Kidbrooke, whither the material in question is being transferred. The desirability of handing over the accommodation without avoidable delay has been kept in view, and efforts are concentrated on clearing as quickly as space at Kidbrooke can be made available for the purpose.
