HC Deb 23 September 1948 vol 456 c139W
103. Sir G. Fox

asked the Minister of Health whether arrangements will be made for the Bicester Urban District Council to use for housing purposes the hutted camp at Banbury Road, Bicester, in which it is at present proposed to house Central Ordnance Depot employees; and whether the Ordnance Depot can instead house its employees at Windmill Camp, Blackthorn Hill, which is situated nearer to the Ordnance Depot, or in the huts at Bucknell Road, Bicester, both of which camps are empty.

Mr. Bevan

This camp cannot be offered to the Council for housing purposes as no other accommodation is available for the employees of the Central Ordnance Depot. I am advised by the War Department that Windmill Camp, Blackthorn Hill, is unsuitable and that the huts at Bucknell Road, Bicester, are not available.
