HC Deb 24 January 1973 vol 849 c183W
Mr. Cyril Smith

asked the Minister of State for Defence how many Service camps such as were made available for Ugandan Asians are held in reserve in Great Britain; and whether he will consider making them available for the provision of cheap holidays for underprivileged and other children.

Mr. Ian Gilmour

Six camps are earmarked against possible contingencies, or to provide temporary accommodation for units in transit, under training or temporarily dispossessed from their normal locations. All six camps are either currently occupied or will be occupied in the near future.
