HC Deb 05 August 1947 vol 441 c140W
85. Mr. Piratin

asked the Secretary of State for War what is the quantity and types of guns and other armaments in the dump at the ordnance depot, Green-ford, Middlesex; whether these armaments are expected to be of use; and how many soldiers and civilians are on duty guarding them.

Mr. Bellenger

Between two and three thousand pieces of equipment are held in gun parks adjoining this ordnance depot, including anti-tank, field artillery and anti-aircraft weapons, vehicles and other armaments. All are current types required for the Forces. No special guards are needed during the daytime when the depot is operating; at night there are four watchmen and four soldiers guarding the equipments.
