§ Mr. SHEEHYasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether, having regard to the fact that under the Defence of the Realm Act it can take land from Colonel Peppard as it took it from four of Colonel Peppard's tenants, and the possibility that Colonel Peppard may refuse to give those tenants land to make up for what the War Office is taking from them, leaving only his dwelling to Mr. Murphy, the War Office will take from Colonel Peppard so much land as will enable it to give equivalent portions to the tenants, and thus in no way curtailing them of their means of livelihood and the state of the productiveness of their industry?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONColonel Peppard has not, so far as I am aware, refused to give his tenants other land, and I hope some satisfactory arrangement may be come to. Perhaps the hon. Member would speak to me afterwards.
