asked the Secretary of State for War how much land he proposes to acquire or use for training purposes in Norfolk and Suffolk in the neighbourhood of the present Stanford Battle Training Area.

I am unable to give final figures for these two counties until the total acreage required by my Department for training purposes in the United Kingdom has been settled.

Lieut.-Colonel Clifton-Brown:

In regard to the Suffolk area, will the Minister say what is exactly the area he has in mind, because from what has been said in the county council it is about twice what the Department had during the war, and yet in his letter to me the Minister said he would require a great deal less than during the war?

I think the hon. and gallant Member had better put that question down.
