§ 94. Mr. Shephardasked the Secretary of State for War how many hutted camps, unused since the end of the war, are still in possession of his Department; and what steps he is taking to dispose of the huts.
§ Mr. ShinwellOne hundred and eighty-eight hutted camps which have been mainly unused since the end of the war are still held by my Department on requisitioned property. Of these 73 are required for future use and 115 are in the process of being derequisitioned. In the process of derequisitioning, hutting not required by the Department is first offered to the owner of the land and if he does not require it, is handed over to the Ministry of Works for disposal.
