HC Deb 21 December 1954 vol 535 c256W
72. Mr. Short

asked the Secretary of State for War for what purpose the War Department has purchased the ancient manor house of Warcop Hall, Westmorland; and what price was paid for it.

Mr. F. Maclean

Warcop Hall is being bought as part of an area required as a range. The price of the whole was reached in agreement with the owner and it would not be proper for me to disclose it.
