HC Deb 16 July 1946 vol 425 c187W
113. Mr. Bossom

asked the Secretary of State for War if he consulted the Minister of Town and Country Planning before the adoption of, and the continued retention of, the Isle of Purbeck site as a tank gunnery school.

Mr. Lawson

A schedule of all land now held by my Department, and from which the post-war training requirements will be selected, has been sent to my right hon. Friend, who has set up an inter-departmental committee to consider Services requirements, with a view to recommending which areas shall be made available. The land at Purbeck, a large part of which is owned by the War Department, is included in that schedule.
