§ Dr. Petersasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will have an inquiry made into the number of huts at present not in use by the military and use them instead of tents; and will he have removed without delay 14 huts behind the residence of the hon. Member for Huntingdon, at Hilton, Huntingdonshire, which have been vacated months ago.
§ Sir J. GriggMany of the huts now empty in this country will be needed in the future. Those which are not needed are not as a rule suitably situated to take the place of tented accommodation. Labour and transport is not usually available to dismantle them and re-erect them elsewhere. The huts behind my hon. 1351W Friend's residence at Hilton are no longer needed by the Army. Three have been transferred to the Huntingdonshire Cadet County Association, and I hope that it will be possible to dispose of the rest soon.
