Mr. Creech Jonesasked the Secretary of State for War what study he has made of the pamphlet entitled, Misuse of a National Park, published by the Dart-moor Press Association, a copy of which has been sent to him; and what steps he is taking to remove from Dartmoor the relics of army occupation and manoeuvres and to clear up the debris and old scrap left by the military.
§ Mr. RamsdenA careful study has been made of the pamphlet. I visited Dartmoor last October and am satisfied some of it must continue to be both a military training area and part of a national park. The accessories proper to the first use must remain but the Services will continue to tidy up what they, and in many cases the general public, have left behind.
