§ Mr. TOWNLEYasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that an additional twenty-five acres of valuable agricultural land has been taken for disposal of sewage from the works at Cippenham; and whether five acres would have been sufficient for the purpose?
Captain GUESTThe sewerage scheme is a joint one for eventual use under agreement by the Eton Rural District Council, and the Government in connection with the Cippenham depot. Twenty-five acres of land were taken up by the War Office as an irrigation area for the joint users and the land will probably be partly cultivated. The answer to the second part of the question is in the negative.
