HC Deb 21 January 1964 vol 687 cc108-9W
Mr. Mayhew

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works for what purposes he proposes to purchase 32 acres of land on the site of Woolwich Arsenal; and what consultations he has had on the matter with the London County Council.

Mr. Sharpies

We propose to acquire some 18 acres of the Royal Arsenal Estate and to use the existing buildings on this land for storage so as to enable parts of the Government site at Kidbrooke at present used for this storage to be sold to the L.C.C. for housing. The L.C.C. are aware of these proposals and detailed discussions with them have already begun.
