"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to repeat that the land on which the airstrip is located is privately owned, and that the Minister for Lands was merely required to act as an agent for the purpose of acquiring the land through compulsory acquisition. To that extent, it is probably the Ministry of Transport which can source for funds. Our role, as the Ministry of Lands, is to ensure that there are funds with which to compulsorily acquire the land, before acquiring the land compulsorily; and that the purpose for which the land is being compulsorily acquired is public utility. So, I hope that since we have advised the relevant Ministry on what to do in order to regularise the process, this matter is going to be resolved. I emphasise that the Ministry of Lands is merely an agent. We do not develop or maintain airstrips and airports, but I sympathise with the hon. Member."
