§ 94. Sir P. MAGNUSasked the Minister of Munitions if he can state why smallholders in the parishes of Porton and Gomeldon are being turned out of their houses and holdings at a month's notice, in mid-winter, after completing the sowing of their next year crops, contrary to the decision of his Department last summer that this would not take place; how these men and their families are to find accommodation elsewhere seeing that there are no vacant houses or cottages in the Salisbury district owing to the 847 proximity of the military camps; and upon what basis are they to be compensated for this sudden disturbance and the loss of their crops as well as their homes?
§ Mr. KELLAWAYMy right hon. Friend is having this matter further examined and hopes to be able to make a statement about it in a few days.
