HC Deb 24 April 1956 vol 551 c130W
77. Mr. Dye

asked the Secretary of State for War on what conditions certain parts of the Stanford battle training area in Norfolk are let for cultivation or grazing; and what is the annual income received.

Mr. F. Maclean

There are four full agricultural lettings and seventeen grazing licences with permission to plough at the licensee's own risk. Some other grazing of sheep is allowed. The permission of the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food to the limited grazing licences has been obtained under the Agricultural Holdings Act, 1948. The total income is about £3,000 a year.
