HC Deb 19 February 1935 vol 298 cc172-3
31. Mr. ISAAC FOOT

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether further consideration has been given to the possible use of Dartmoor as a training area for tanks; and if, before any de cision in this direction is taken, the local authorities concerned for the maintenance of the amenities of this holiday district will be called into consultation?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the WAR OFFICE (Mr. Douglas Hacking)

Tentative inquiries were made as to the possibility of using Dartmoor for the purpose of tank training in the coming season, but the idea has now been abandoned.
