§ Mr. Iremongerasked the Secretary of State for Defence how many caravans are being used as dwellings on Hornchurch airfield; what agreement has been made between the caravan dwellers and his Department as to tenure and rent and what discussions he has had with the local authority concerned about the public health aspects of the use to which the airfield is now being put.
§ Mr. ReynoldsThere were 17 caravans at the last count; their occupants are trespassing. We have had full discussions on the problem with the authorities concerned, in which my hon. Friend the Member for Hornchurch (Mr. Alan Lee Williams) has been closely associated, and I am hopeful of an early solution.
