Disposals amount to some 4 per cent. of Ministry of Defence landholdings in the park in 1973.

Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what new acquisitions have been made of land in the Pembroke national park by his Department since the publication of the Nugent committee's report: and what is the total percentage of land in the Pembroke national park which is currently owned or occupied by his Department.

The Ministry of Defence has not purchased any land in the Pembrokeshire coast national park since the publication of the report of the defence lands committee in 1973. Less than 5 per cent. of the land in the park is owned by the Ministry of Defence.
