§ Squadron-Leader Hollisasked the Secretary of State for War whether he can hold out hope of the early derequisition of the agricultural land between Broad Hinton and Marlborough needed for arable purposes.
§ Mr. LawsonI regret that I cannot say what the future of this area will be until the Army's requirements of land as a whole have been fully considered and discussed with the other departments concerned. The work of reviewing future military requirements of land is being carried out as quickly as possible, and in this connection the hon. and gallant Member may care to refer to the reply given to the hon. and gallant Member for Merioneth (Squadron-Leader Emrys Roberts) on 22nd January.
