HC Deb 19 November 1936 vol 317 c1944W
Captain MACNAMARA

asked the Secretary of State for War whether any steps have been taken to add to the training area in the Aldershot Command in view of the restricted facilities existing at present?

Sir V. WARRENDER

The shortage of land suitable for training in the Aldershot Command has long been a source of anxiety to the War Office, and occasion has therefore been taken of the opportunity to acquire a further 2,500 acres by the acquisition of an estate known as Minley Manor, negotiations for the purchase of which have just been completed.
