§ Viscount WOLMERasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether it is proposed to continue cultivating land which is at present being cultivated by troops in England until the end of the harvest of 1919?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONWhere land is retained in the occupation of the War Department and for military reasons cannot be relinquished to the owner, the present cultivations will be continued as far as possible. Where land has been rented by the Army solely for cultivation, arrangements can be made to hand it over to the owner at his request should he find himself in a position to continue the cultivation of it. Otherwise cultivation will be carried on by the Army until the end of the harvest of 1919.
