HC Deb 01 July 1947 vol 439 cc134-5W
75. Mr. Lipson

asked the Secretary of State for War if he is now able to make a statement on the release of lands requisitioned for Army purposes.

Mr. John Freeman

Future policy will be dealt with in the forthcoming White Paper on Service Land Requirements.

76. Mr. Lipson

asked the Secretary of State for War if he is now able to say what decision has been made with regard to the proposal to requisition part of Cleeve Common, near Cheltenham, for military-training purposes.

Mr. Freeman

There is no intention to requisition Cleeve Common. A proposal to use an area for military training without prejudice to public access is, however, being considered by the Inter-Departmental Committee on Service Land Requirements.
