HC Deb 30 November 1955 vol 546 cc216-7W
98. Mr. Bottomley

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he will make a statement about the future use of the Royal Marine Barracks, Chatham.

Commander Noble

As my right hon. Friend the First Lord informed the right hon. Member in August, he has been considering the possibility of using this property as a combined Dockyard Training College and Apprentices' Training Centre. Preliminary investigation indicates that conversion of the existing buildings would not be a worthwhile proposition, but no definite conclusion has yet been reached.
