HC Deb 14 December 1933 vol 284 cc562-3W
Mr. WEDDERBURN

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office the reasons which actuated the War Office in deciding not to sell the property at Irvine which was about to be acquired for the purposes of a coal-distillation scheme; whether he is aware that this industrial utilisation would have given work to hundreds of unemployed in the district: and if he will state the use to which the War Office now intends to put this derelict site, and when it proposes to commence operations?

Mr. COOPER

I regret I am unable to add to the answers which I gave to similar questions on 12th December.
