Mr. ACLAND

asked the Secretary of State for War whether it is proposed to acquire by procedure, before the Railway and Canal Commission, valuable building frontages outside the area occupied by the Hipswell camp; and, if so, for what specific purposes?

It is proposed to apply to the Railway and Canal Commission for compulsory powers to acquire an area of land in the immediate vicinity of this camp. The area is required to provide facilities for recreation and also in order to exercise the necessary control over the development of the land.
