HC Deb 01 July 1949 vol 466 cc120-1W
Mr. Skeffington

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he can yet release some sports grounds so that they may revert to their original function.

Mr. T. Williams

I presume my hon. Friend is thinking of sports grounds at present either cultivated under directions or requisitioned for food production. A considerable number have already been returned to their original use, and I expect it will be possible for more to be released soon after this year's harvest, although the importance of food production has not diminished.
