HC Deb 18 April 1956 vol 551 cc90-1W
Mr. Russell

asked the Minister of Works if he will give an indication of what land will be acquired by his Department at an estimated cost of £150,000 in 1956–57.

Mr. Buchan-Hepburn

I assume that the hon. Member is referring to the figure included in Subhead F.8 of the 1956–57 Estimates for Public Buildings, etc., United Kingdom. This provides for the acquisition of requisitioned land so as to preserve for the Crown the value of any war works created thereon.
