HC Deb 15 December 1925 vol 189 c1183
25. Mr. BOWERMAN

asked 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 KING

The arbitration to fix the purchase price of the Deptford Cattle Market is expected to take place early in the new year.

Mr. BOWERMAN

Is 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 KING

I 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.
