HC Deb 02 August 1946 vol 426 c272W
Mrs. Middleton

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty on what date his Department relinquished their control of the camp known as Shapter's Fields, Plymouth; to what Department of State it was handed over; and for what purpose.

Mr. Dugdaie

This camp was notified as being surplus to naval requirements at the end of March, 1946, but so far it has not been taken over by any other Government Department.

Mrs. Middleton

asked the Minister of Works how long the camp known as Shapter's Fields, Plymouth, was in the control of his Department and for what purpose it was intended that this should be used on behalf of his Department; and why that purpose was abandoned.

Mr. Tomlinson

The camp known as Shapter's Fields, Plymouth, is an Admiralty camp and has never been in the control of my Department. The second part of the Question does not, therefore, arise.
