asked the Minister of Agriculture what acreage of grassland in service use in Wiltshire, has, as a result of review by his Department and the War Office, been released for ploughing and cropping for this season.

Following the review referred to by the hon. Member, approximately 5,000 acres of Service land in Wiltshire previously used for grazing will shortly become available for ploughing and cropping.

Is the Minister aware that that reply will be received with some gratification? Nevertheless, does he recollect a debate when the Joint Parliamentary Secretary admitted that Wiltshire was a very special case? Will the Minister continue to keep in mind our special needs?
