HC Deb 18 March 1947 vol 435 cc43-4W
Mr. F. Noel-Baker

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will state the precise purpose for which his Department is now using hutments in Gunnersbury Park, W.4; and when he expects to find alternative accommodation and thus free these hutments for use as housing.

Mr. Bellenger

As regards the first part of the Question, I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for West Ealing (Mr. J. Hudson) on 3rd December. I hope that it may be possible to find alternative accommodation by the end of July, though I cannot make any promise. Whether or not the hutments can then be released will depend on whether the site is likely to be required for anti-aircraft defence purposes.
