§ 28. Mr. Rentonasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air when Castle Hill House, Huntingdon, and adjoining and nearby premises, all of which have been unoccupied since 1945, will be made available to the Huntingdon County Council and the Red Cross Society, by whom they are required for civilian requirements.
§ Mr. de FreitasCastle Hill House is Air Ministry property but we are offering it to the Ministry of Works for accommodation for the local staff of Government 187W Departments, and the Huntingdon County Council will then be able to take over the offices which will be vacated. I understand that this arrangement will meet the county council's difficulties. The nearby premises, which belong to the Red Cross Society are no longer needed by us And we will be able to release them provided they are not required for other Government use.
