§ Mr. Lipsonasked the Minister of Works if he is aware that the buildings at Oakley Farm, Cheltenham, selected for a teachers' emergency training college, are urgently required to house temporarily many families at present living in damp, condemned basements and in other unhealthy and over-crowded conditions; and will he release the Oakley farm buildings for this purpose and transfer the training college to Cowley Manor, a few miles 985W outside Cheltenham, where there is suitable accommodation.
§ Mr. TomlinsonI am advised that Cowley Manor is too small and inconveniently situated for use as a teachers' emergency training college. The provision of accommodation for the training of teachers is urgent, and it has not been possible to find suitable premises in the county except those at Oakley Farm. These buildings were designed as offices and would require extensive adaptations to render them suitable for residential purposes.
