SERVICES' LAND REQUIREMENTS (WHITE PAPER) (Hansard, 10 December 1947)

§ 45. Mr. Lambert
asked the Prime Minister when the White Paper on the Services' Land Requirements is to be published.

§ The Prime Minister (Mr. Attlee)
A White Paper on the Needs of the Armed Forces for Land for Training and other Purposes has been presented, and copies will be available in the Vote Office this afternoon.

§ Mr. Lambert
Do the Government propose to put down a Motion to approve the proposals contained in that White Paper 1000 and, if so, will there be an opportunity for Debate before the Christmas Recess?

§ The Prime Minister
That question ought to be put to my right hon. Friend the Leader of the House.

§ Mr. Molson
Do the Defence Departments have to submit all requests for land to this Committee before acquiring it?

§ The Prime Minister
The Committee reviewed the whole of the requirements and came to general decisions, but, as the hon. Member is aware, there is a proposal that there should be local inquiries with regard to specific parts of land.

§ Mr. Molson
Can we take it that the proposal to acquire part of Dovedale will be submitted to this Committee for their opinion?

§ The Prime Minister
I would rather see that question on the Order Paper.
