Comment on this
Arrangements are being made for the disposal by public auction of the buildings and about 59 acres of the property referred to. Pending the completion of the necessary extensive inquiries on the ground it is not possible to say when proposals for the allotment of the balance of the lands, some 452 acres, will be formulated. I understand however that the aim is to include the preparation of the resale scheme in next year's programme.
