Debate between Lord Astor of Hever and Baroness Masham of Ilton

Tuesday 18th January 2011 Lords Chamber

[Lord Astor of Hever]

My Lords, the noble Lord raises an important issue. I will take it back to the department and write to him.

[Baroness Masham of Ilton]

My Lords, is it not a fact that there is a new swimming pool and a lot of voluntary money had gone into supporting Headley Court? Would it not be horrifying for those people if it were closed?

[Lord Astor of Hever]

My Lords, I am aware that Help for Heroes has donated a lot of money to Headley Court and we are very grateful for that. Any possible plan to sell Headley Court is years away, but we would bear in mind all the very generous donations that have been given.
