HC Deb 09 June 1942 vol 380 c942W
Colonel Carver

asked the Minister of Agriculture how many acres of arable land have been requisitioned by any Government Department since the start of the year; and whether the process is now practically complete?

Mr. Hudson

I assume that my hon. and gallant Friend is referring to land requisitioned by the Service and other Departments for non-agricultural purposes. The information asked for is being collected, and I will communicate in due course with my hon. and gallant Friend. With regard to the second part of the Question, it is impossible to say whether developments in the war situation will render further requisitioning of land necessary.
