HC Deb 21 January 1948 vol 446 cc40-1W
Mr. Hollis

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the acute housing situation caused in Tidworth by the eviction of non-service tenants from War department houses, the disused camp at South Tidworth will be placed at the disposal of those tenants for temporary accommodation.

Mr. Shinwell

The camp at South Tidworth known as Arena Road Camp has been offered on loan terms to the local authority for two years to house families evicted from married quarters in the district. The offer is subject to review at the end of this period, and I understand that the local authority has accepted the camp on these terms.
