HC Deb 29 April 1947 vol 436 cc208-9W
95. Mr. Baldwin

asked the Secretary of State for War how many ammunition shelters are now occupying agricultural land; what is the area of the land occupied; and what is the total annual rent being paid for the sites.

Mr. Bellenger

Approximately 30,000 shelters, occupying about 540 acres. As many of these shelters form part of larger sites, figures for the annual rental are not readily available and could not be calculated without a great deal of work.
