Dartmoor National Park (Hansard, 30 October 1990)

HC Deb 30 October 1990 vol 178 c503W 503W

§ 57. Mr. Steen
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what progress he is making with regard to the renewal of licences from the Duchy of Cornwall for live firing in the Dartmoor national park; and if he will make a statement.

§ Mr. Archie Hamilton
We are in regular contact with officers of the Duchy of Cornwall over the administration of the licence which governs our use of Duchy-owned land on Dartmoor for military training. The current licence does not expire until 29 September 1991, and discussions over its renewal have therefore only just begun.
