HC Deb 12 March 1946 vol 420 c189W
96. Mr. Goronwy Roberts

asked the Secretary of State for War what progress is being made in freeing, from military use, districts in North Wales which are vital to the agricultural and tourist industries of the area.

Mr. Lawson

Three hundred and eighty-five areas in North Wales were at one time held or used for training purposes. Three hundred and one of these have now been released. About 1,400 acres were also held for accommodation purposes of which 25 per cent. has already been released and it is hoped to release a further 28 per cent. shortly.
