HC Deb 25 January 1984 vol 52 c588W
Mr. Donald Stewart

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if his Department is considering the acquisition or lease of any alternative land areas in Scotland for military training following the decision in January 1983 not to go ahead with the purchase of the Knoydart estate.

Mr. Lee

My Department is not currently considering the acquisition or lease of any specific area of land in Scotland as an alternative to the Knoydart estate. The requirement for an Army training area in Scotland remains and we are ready to consider any suitable areas of land that become available.
