HC Deb 21 January 1947 vol 432 cc32-3
54. Sir Henry Morris-Jones

asked the Prime Minister whether any conclusions have now been reached in regard to the areas of land to be retained and newly acquired by the Services.

The Prime Minister

No, Sir, but I hope to make a statement shortly

Sir H. Morris-Jones

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the half million acres of land in Wales already in the hands of the Services, is out of all proportion to the acreage held in other parts of the British Isles? Further, before any final determination is reached in regard to further acquisitions of land, will he give an opportunity to the House to have this matter discussed in a general way?

The Prime Minister

This matter has been discussed in great detail, and I would like the hon. Member to await the statement which is to be made.
