HC Deb 23 June 1947 vol 439 cc1-2W
Mr. Royle

asked the Minister of Works when the Duncan Matheson playing fields, Lancaster Road, Salford, will be freed by his Department; to what area the Apprentices Training Scheme is being removed; and if he will give an assurance that these fields will be derequisitioned and not handed over to any other Department.

Mr. Key

This site was used for an Emergency Building Trades Training Centre. It has now been possible to accommodate the trainees in centres at Radcliffe and Cheetham. When the equipment has been removed it is intended to dispose of the huts and then to release the site.
