HC Deb 10 June 1971 vol 818 c353W
38. Major-General Jack d'Avigdor-Goldsmid

asked the Minister of State for Defence how many drill halls there were available to the Territorial Army in October, 1964; how many are now available to the Territorial and Army Volunteer Reserve; and what has happened to those no longer available.

Mr. G. Johnson Smith

About 1,300 drill halls were available to the Territorial Army in October, 1964. About 450 remain in use. Of the 750 which have been disposed of since October, 1964, 540 were sold, and the remainder were either returned to their owners or transferred to the Regular Forces or to other Government Departments. The future of the balance of about 100 is still under consideration.
