§ 54. Mr. Dayasked the Secretary of State for War the total area of land owned or held by the War Department in Great Britain for military purposes, in addition to the land hired during the training season?
Mr. CooperThe total area of land, including foreshore, owned or held under leases exceeding 21 years by the War 174 Department in Great Britain on 1st January, 1937, was 250,648 acres. I regret that information regarding leases under 21 years is not readily available and could only be obtained by a considerable expenditure of time and labour.
