HC Deb 23 October 1940 vol 365 c1048W
Mr. Bartlett

asked the Secretary of State for War whether instructions have yet been issued by his Department that no agricultural land shall be interfered with for military purposes without previous notice being served on the owner?

Mr. Law

Instructions have been issued that, except in cases of extreme urgency, notices shall be served on occupiers before work is undertaken on any land by the military authorities. Where land is used for training purposes, notices are to be displayed in every district concerned.
