HC Deb 19 March 1946 vol 420 c320W
82. Brigadier Peto

asked the Secretary of State for War by what approximate date the North Devon cricket ground at Instow will be derequisitioned, in view of the fact that it is not now serving any essential military purpose.

Mr. Lawson

The Instow cricket ground will be derequisitioned as soon as alternative accommodation can be erected to fulfil the essential military purpose for which the cricket ground has been used. This is in hand and I hope that it will be possible to release the cricket ground in about a month, provided it is not required by any other Department.
