§ Mr. J. Morganasked the Home Secretary why allotments carrying growing crops at Bute Road, Wallington, Surrey, are to be taken for air-raid precautions structures, when an adjoining yard owned by the council is more suitably available, or a weed-ridden site at the entrance to Grange Park, nearby?
§ Sir J. AndersonI have made inquiries and am informed that the site taken was the only one in the vicinity which was considered suitable for the purpose for which it was required. It was chosen after full consideration by the allotments committee and the council. Of the alternative sites to which the hon. Member refers, one was too far distant and the other was required for other purposes. Alternative allotments are being found for the dispossessed allotment holders.
