§ SIR BERKELEY SHEFFIELDTo ask the Secretary of State for War whether he will lay upon the Table a Return specifying the lands to be acquired for Territorial ranges, setting forth the names of the owners and occupying tenants, the acreage of their properties and holdings, and the correspondence which has passed between the War Office and the various people concerned.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) It is obviously impracticable to give a 1333 Return of the properties concerned before the negotiations are completed. In this respect I propose to follow the practice of my predecessors, and lay Returns of the purchases when completed on the lines of those given in 1898 and 1899.
