asked the Prime Minister when the White Paper on the Services' Land Requirements is to be published.

A White Paper on the Needs of the Armed Forces for Land for Training and other Purposes has been presented, and copies will be available in the Vote Office this afternoon.

Do the Government propose to put down a Motion to approve the proposals contained in that White Paper and, if so, will there be an opportunity for Debate before the Christmas Recess?

That question ought to be put to my right hon. Friend the Leader of the House.

Do the Defence Departments have to submit all requests for land to this Committee before acquiring it?

The Committee reviewed the whole of the requirements and came to general decisions, but, as the hon. Member is aware, there is a proposal that there should be local inquiries with regard to specific parts of land.

Can we take it that the proposal to acquire part of Dovedale will be submitted to this Committee for their opinion?

I would rather see that question on the Order Paper.
