HC Deb 16 July 1946 vol 425 c178W
100. Brigadier Peto

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that the golf course at Saunton, together with the club house, are still requisitioned by his Department; and how long this requisition will last as it is causing a great deal of adverse comment in the neighbourhood, together with considerable inconvenience to the public.

Mr. Lawson

This property cannot be released until an existing minefield Las been cleared. The work of clearing minefields is proceeding as rapidly as possible but I cannot at present forecast a date for its completion in this particular case. The property will be released as soon as it is safe to do so.
