HC Deb 03 July 1991 vol 194 c144W
Mr. Hannam

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence for what reasons the licence agreement for military training in the Dartmoor national park has been renewed.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

The use of Dartmoor will remain crucial for effective military training, as it is the only primary training area in the south-west of England. The requirement for Duchy of Cornwall land on Dartmoor for military training purposes therefore continues to be in the national interest.
