In his letter of 31st October, my hon. Friend the Under-Secretary of State informed the hon. Member that the R.A.F. would not require "Towerfields" in future, and that instructions had been given to the G.P.O. to remove the equipment which remained. I regret that this letter did not make it clear that the R.A.F. had no power to release "Towerfields" to Mr. Wright before, in accordance with the general practice, it had been offered for other Government use. The premises are now needed by the Ministry of Health, in order that the Bromley Corporation may rehouse homeless families.
