HC Deb 20 March 1919 vol 113 c2256W
Major PRESCOTT

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Agriculture whether, on the termination of the War, the Board of Agriculture's rights of occupation of lands under the Cultivation of Lands Orders will cease, and thereafter the Board's occupation will be under The Defence of the Realm (Acquisition of Land) Act, 1916; and whether the Board have intimated that they are prepared to relinquish possession of such lands at short notice where they are satisfied that the land is reasonably required for building or industrial purposes?

Sir A. BOSCAWEN

Yes, Sir, the answer to both parts of the question is in the affirmative.
