§ Sir J. HOODasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that the restoration of part of Wimbledon Common to the public is being delayed by its continued occupation as a military camp, although it is now over three and-a-half years since the Armistice; that such occupation prevents the carrying out of the scheme of the conservators for replanting and laying out; and whether he can fix a date not later than October next when the camp will be completely evacuated?
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSI am aware of the objections which may be raised to the continued occupation of the camps on Wimbledon Common, but the whole question of the location of the troops in Great Britain is now under review, in connection with the reorganisation of garrisons at home and abroad, and until a decision be reached I regret that I am not in a position to indicate a date when these camps can be evacuated.
