§ Mr. Sorensenasked the Secretary of State for War how much of Ashdown Forest has been requisitioned for military 300W purposes; how long is it likely to be retained; and what restrictions are likely to be imposed on the public respecting enjoyment of amenities.
§ Mr. BellengerEight hundred and thirty-eight acres have been requisitioned. A further 8,042 acres have been used under Defence Regulation 52. A decision on the future use of parts of the requisitioned land which it is recommended shall be retained depends on the result of the examination of the report of the Interdepartmental Committee. Access by the public to parts of the land used for training would only be interrupted for short periods.
