§ Mr. BENNETT-GOLDNEYasked the Under-Secretary of State for War, whether the military authorities have diverted and closed certain public footpaths across lands known as the Old Park, situated in the county of Canterbury, to the inconvenience not only of the citizens of Canterbury, but to the inhabitants of the port of Fordwich and the neighbouring villages in the adjacent county of Kent; and whether, as this encroachment is an infringement of the ancient privileges of the citizens of Canterbury and a curtailment of the inalienable rights of the 1575 public, he will give immediate instructions to have the present obstructions removed, so that this source of annoyance may not be allowed to develop into a breach of the peaceful relations between the civil and military populations which the civil authorities are so anxious to maintain?
§ Mr. ACLANDI am making inquiries and will inform the hon. Member of the result of these inquiries in due course.
