HC Deb 13 May 1968 vol 764 c200W
Mr. Evelyn King

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he is aware of the noise, nuisance and shaking of windows caused to those living on the western perimeter of Wareham and the adjoining rural area by the gunfire now emanating from the Lulworth Range; what steps he proposes to take to diminish the nuisance; and what compensation he will offer to those affected thereby.

Mr. Boyden

Some additional firing is temporarily necessary on the eastern ranges at Lulworth as other ranges there have had to be closed for renovation. Firings should return to normal in September. I regret the inconvenience this may cause to those living in the area. Compensation is paid wherever actual damage is proved.
