HC Deb 05 March 1946 vol 420 c37W
92. Flight-Lieutenant Beswick

asked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that the 12 hutments belonging to his Department, on land at Elmbridge Drive, Eastcote, Middlesex, are unoccupied; that the local authority are prepared to adapt these hutments for housing purposes and that the Ministry of Health have agreed to the proposals; and, in view of the fact that 2,400 applicants are needing accommodation in this urban district area, if he will review his decision and release these hutments for housing purposes.

Mr. Lawson

A communication from the Ministry of Health on this subject has just been received and is being considered. I will write to my hon. and gallant Friend as soon as a decision has been reached.
