asked the Minister of Town and Country Planning what is the procedure whereby local authorities and members of the public may obtain detailed information, including maps, of the proposed land requirements of the Services; and whether this is now available in the Library.

The information referred to is given to local authorities and amenity societies when they are consulted by my Department about proposed land requirements of the Services. The particulars have not been made available in the Library, but are made available to the public in any case in which a public local inquiry is to be held, by deposit at the offices of a local authority.
