§ 25. Mr. BOWERMANasked the Secretary of State for War whether the negotiations for the purchase of the Deptford Cattle Market area have been completed; and, if so, what is the amount to be paid to the Corporation of the City of London?
§ Captain KINGThe arbitration to fix the purchase price of the Deptford Cattle Market is expected to take place early in the new year.
§ Mr. BOWERMANIs the hon. and gallant Member aware that a similar question was asked two years ago and that the arbitration is no nearer a settlement now?
§ Captain KINGI cannot agree with the right hon. Gentleman, because the arbitration will take place early in the new year, and none of the delay has occurred on the part of the War Office.
