HC Deb 08 August 1947 vol 441 c209W
Mr. Studholme

asked the Minister of Town and Country Planning why the inquiry into the military training area on Dartmoor was held before the publication of the National Park Report and the promised White Paper on the whole question of service demand for land for training.

Mr. Silkin

In view of the considerable measure of agreement reached regarding the War Department proposals, it was felt desirable to respond to requests made for an inquiry into them before the holidays.
