HC Deb 12 July 1917 vol 95 c2142W
Captain A. SMITH

asked the Minister of Munitions whether he is now in a position to state when compensation will be paid to the farmers and landlords of Salterforth, Yorks, for the land taken to erect munition sheds thereon?

Sir W. EVANS

The necessary authority has now been received for these cases to be dealt with by the Lands Directorate instead of referring them to the Royal Commission, and it is hoped they will be settled in the course of a week or so.
