52. Mr. Baker Whiteasked the Minister of Agriculture on what grounds the Kent Agricultural Executive Committee 71W are requisitioning the Abobtswood Estate near Herne Bay; and at what rates compensation is to be paid to plot owners.
Mr. T. WilliamsI am not aware that the Kent Agricultural Executive Committee are requisitioning the Abbotswood Estate. An area including this estate, together with some 1,500 acres of land requisitioned during the war, has been referred to the Agricultural Land Commission under Section 84 of the Agriculture Act, and I shall await their report.
