§ Sir K. WOODasked the First Commissioner of Works his intentions as to the use of and his policy generally in relation to the remaining hutments at Eltham now the property of the Office of Works?
§ Mr. LANSBURYThe only hutments in the Woolwich area which are still the property of the Office of Works are those known as the Shepherd's Farm Estate and the Bostall Estate. The Woolwich Borough Council have rights of preemption over the Shepherd's Farm Estate, and negotiations are now in progress for the immediate exercise by them of these rights. The site of the Bostall Estate must, by the terms of the original conveyance to the Government, be cleared of houses and re-sold to its original owners by a fixed date.
