HC Deb 07 November 1939 vol 353 c64W
Sir R. Glyn

asked the Secretary of State for War how many hutted camps have been completed; how many are under construction and at what cost; and whether any of these contracts have been made on a time and line basis?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

Of 72 militia camps planned before the outbreak of war, about 50 have been completed except for minor details, and are in occupation. The estimated cost was £8,000,000. Contracts have been placed for 60 war training camps at an estimated cost of £10,000,000. Only one of the militia camp contracts was placed on a time and line basis.
