Major Millsasked the Secretary of State for Air why the agreement between the Air Ministry and the verderers of the New Forest as regards a certain bombing range has not been completed, seeing that reasonable terms were substantially agreed nearly six months ago; and what action he proposes to take as the range is wanted for use immediately and the verderers have no funds in hand with which to meet the cost of clearing the range of cattle and ponies, which it was agreed should be paid by the Ministry?
§ Sir A. SinclairCertain difficulties occurred in connection with the completion of the agreement, but these have now been overcome and payment of rental in advance and of a sum to cover the cost of clearing has been made.
