HC Deb 16 June 1947 vol 438 c186W
116. Mr. Hurd

asked the Minister of Health why he refused the offer of the settlers at Sunnyside Camp, Theale, Berkshire, to undertake in their own time the necessary work of reconditioning at the camp on terms agreed by the Bradfield Rural District Council; and what additional cost will now fall on public funds.

Mr. J. Edwards

Considerable works of reconditioning and adaptation, including water supply and drainage, were required and in these circumstances it was considered that the work would be more suitably carried out by contract and that little additional cost be involved.
