§ Commander BELLAIRSasked the Prime Minister whether he is aware that there are a great many valuable sites owned by the Crown, especially in the case of the war services, which are no longer vital to existing requirements, or where alternative and more suitable accommodation is available; and whether, in view of the sums of money which would accrue to the Treasury by hastening decisions on these matters as well as the local benefit to trade, he will appoint a roving Geddes Committee to hear evidence and adjudicate on the spot?
§ Mr. BALDWINI am informed by the Departments concerned that, apart from the sites which it is necessary to keep for service purposes, every effort is being made to get rid of surplus properties, and no opportunity is lost of effecting sales. I am not prepared to adopt the suggestion in the last part of the question, but if my hon. and gallant Friend has any particular site in mind and will communicate with me I shall be very glad to look into the matter.
