§ Mr. A. HERBERTasked the Secretary of State for War whether the Government will only consent to compensate owners and tenants for their occupation of land for military purposes, or whether they will agree to buy at an arbitration valuation?
§ Mr. FORSTERThe question whether the Government makes a payment by way of compensation to owners and tenants for the occupation of their land for military purposes or purchases the property under the procedure laid down by the Defence of the Realm (Acquisition of Land) Act, or by any other procedure depends on the merits of each particular case, and the necessities of postwar requirements.
