HC Deb 18 December 1946 vol 431 cc406-7W
128. Mr. Spearman

asked the Secretary of State for War when he expects to make a statement on the future of the Fyling-dale training area in accordance with the promise made on 7th May; and if he is aware of the interference with the amenities of holidaymakers that is entailed in the destruction of a part of this famous moor.

Mr. Bellenger

The future of the Fyling-dales area is now under consideration by the Inter-Departmental Committee on Service Land Requirements. Until the results of the committee's consideration have been examined I cannot say when a statement will be made on the future of this area. I can assure the hon. Member that the effect on the amenities of holiday-makers will be fully considered before a decision is taken.
