§ Mr. LawThe land to which my hon. Friend refers was selected by the military authorities as the only site that would meet their requirements, and the agreement of the local land commissioner of the Ministry of Agriculture was obtained to its acquisition. It has since been decided, however, not to proceed with the construction of the camp for which this site was intended and the notice of requisitioning will therefore be withdrawn.
