DISRUPTED MILITARY EXERCISES

That this House believes that British soldiers deserve the wholehearted support of the nation especially when they are courageously putting their lives at risk in Iraq; deplores the mean unpatriotic sabotage of planned military exercises by farmers who have reneged at the last moment on longstanding agreements for the military use of land; and calls on the Ministry of Defence to avoid the turmoil and waste of future cancellations by reviewing both the ??1.7million paid annually to farmers for ephemeral land use and the subsidised rents charges to those farming military land on Salisbury Plain.
