§ 23. Mr. Squireasked the Secretary of State for Defence whether, in the light of the recently published line of the A13 marshes route, he will review his Department's need for its landholding on the Rainham marshes.
§ Mr. LeeNone of the published routes for the A13 road will be materially affected by the existence of the Purfleet firing range, which is my Department's only remaining landholding in the area. The need for this heavily used range continues.
