§ Colonel WEDGWOODasked the Minister of Agriculture whether any land acquired by the county councils, under the recent Acquisition of Land Act, can be disposed of only for the use of disabled soldiers, or whether all ex-soldiers have an equal right for any land so acquired?
Mr. T. JONESLand acquired by county councils under the Small Holdings and Allotments Act, 1908, and the Land Settlement (Facilities) Act, 1919, can be sold or let to any suitable ex-service man who made application before the 1st December last, but a further sum of £4,000,000 has been made available for loans to county councils on condition that such councils make provision for suitable disabled men who have been trained at the Ministry's expense.
