§ 159. Mr. Price-Whiteasked the Secretary of State for War what is now the total acreage of land held by his Department in Wales under requisition for purposes of Army training grounds, practice camps, camps and schools; and what is his comparative acreage for England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
§ Mr. BellengerOn 1st November there were 3,515 acres requisitioned under Defence Regulation 51 in Wales and Monmouthshire as compared with 210,202 acres in England, 13,471 acres in Scotland and 3,624 acres in Northern Ireland. These figures relate only to training areas, practice camps and Military Training Schools and do not include other camps or Educational Schools, although the figures for these are in similar proportions. Land no longer required for training purposes but held until it has been searched and cleared of unexploded missiles, or which, in the national interest, should have certain works or restoration carried out before being derequisitioned, is, however, included in these figures.
