HC Deb 09 July 1946 vol 425 cc70-2W
Sir J. Mellor

asked the Prime Minister why no explanatory memorandum is appended to S.R. & O., 1946, No. 892, made on 26th June; and if he will explain the effect of the Order.

Mr. Leonard

I have been asked to reply. No explanatory memorandum was appended to S.R. & O., 1946, No. 892, made on 26th June, because the effect of the Order is merely to put an end to the wartime suspension of the ordinary procedure for putting the Crown in possession of land which it is purchasing under the Defence Acts, and it was considered that this clearly appeared upon the face of the Order.
