HC Deb 30 November 1955 vol 546 c223W
123. Mr. G. Jeger

asked the Secretary of State for War when Kensington Village at Fayid was built; and at what cost.

Mr. F. Maclean

It was built in 1946–47 and added to later. The work was largely done by prisoners-of-war and no reliable estimate of cost can be made.

124. Mr. G. Jeger

asked the Secretary of State for War how many people can be accommodated in Kensington Village, Fayid; and for how long it is proposed to use it.

Mr. F. Maclean

The village will be retained for the period of the agreement with Egypt to house the contractors' employees and will accommodate sixty-nine single persons and 206 families.
