asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty if he is aware that the delay in handing over possession of Priors Down Camp, Marnhull, to the local authority for housing is causing hardship; and if he will hasten the transfer immediately.

The transfer of this camp to the Sturminster Newton Rural District Council for housing purposes was agreed on 14th March last. Certain valuable Admiralty equipment is in course of removal and it is hoped to complete this work by the end of this month.
