asked the Secretary of State for War how many houses his Department propose to build on the 12½ acres of land surrounding Agaton Fort, Plymouth; has the layout been approved; are the plans and specifications prepared; has the local authority been consulted upon provision of educational facilities for the children; and when does he anticipate the work will commence.

Detailed plans for the use of this land cannot be made until the future accommodation requirements of the Service Departments in the neighbourhood of Plymouth and Devonport are known.
