§ LIEUT.-COLONEL PRYCE-JONESI beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether it is intended to make use of the cultivated ground on Salisbury Plain for military purposes, inasmuch as during the last month there has been no room for brigade drills at Bulford Camp, although certain battalions lost two whole days, out of twelve working days, in travelling to and from Salisbury Plain, and that the musketry shooting could have been done nearer home and at less cost to the public.
§ *MR. WYNDHAMA scheme has been formed, and is being carried out, by which all cultivated land on Salisbury Plain belonging to the Government, outside certain areas, will revert to grass. But to carry out such a scheme in accordance with the terms of the leases and without injury to tenants naturally takes a considerable time.
