89. Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how much land is now in the charge of his Department; and what are his intentions for the reduction of this acreage, apart from the areas designated as forest land.

Mr. Godber

Of 237,184 acres in my charge on 30th June last, 54,617 acres are to be sold or released. Other land will be considered for disposal as and when it ceases to be needed.
