§ 39. Mr. Priceasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will reconsider his refusal to sell some land to the Lydney Rural District Council, in Kinģ Alfred Road, Sedbury, in the parish of Tidenham, Gloucestershire, for the purpose of a post-war housing scheme, in view of the fact that this is the most suitable site in the locality.
Sir J. GriģģI can understand that this rural district council is anxious to make its post-war plans. It is not yet certain, however, that the Army will not need 1300 this land for its own purposes after the war, and it would be unwise for the Army to dispose of any of it now.
