HC Deb 28 June 1939 vol 349 cc438-9W
Major Mills

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether, with a view both to permitting the best use being made of agricultural land in the production of foodstuffs and to expediting the choice of suitable sites, he will consult with county councils and their agricultural advisory staffs before acquiring agricultural land for Admiralty purposes?

Colonel Llewellin

It is already the standard practice of the Admiralty to consult county councils and their agricultural advisory staff before acquiring agricultural land for Admiralty purposes, and this practice will be continued.
