HC Deb 25 July 1940 vol 363 cc1008-9W
Sir I. Fraser

asked the Secretary of State for War whether local military authorities who are taking steps to render land useless for enemy air landings will consult the county war agricultural committees as to the best method of serving the military need with the minimum of dislocation of agriculture?

Sir E. Grigg

Instructions were issued to the military authorities some weeks ago that this should be done; and these have recently been strongly re-emphasised as cases have been reported where consultation as ordered has not taken place.
