HC Deb 09 April 1968 vol 762 cc217-8W
64. Mr. Rippon

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government, what is his policy with regard to offering former Ministry of Defence property, which is being disposed of by the Government, to the Land Commission rather than on the open market, if it is not required either by the previous owner or the local authority.

Mr. MacDermot

The Land Commission, like other Government Departments, has the opportunity under existing procedures to buy such land before it is placed on the market.
