MILITARY LANDS ACT 1892 - SECT 8

Provision as to disbandment of corps, &c.

8.(1) If a volunteer corps holding land under this Act is disbanded, the land
shall, by virtue and subject to the provisions of this section, vest in the
Secretary of State from the date of the disbandment, subject to the repayment
of any money borrowed for the purchase of the land, and not already repaid,
and the sums required for such repayment shall, if and so far as not provided
by the sale of the land, be paid out of moneys provided by Parliament for Army
services.

(2) A certificate of the Secretary of State that land has vested in him under
this section shall be conclusive evidence of the fact certified.

(3) If the volunteer corps on whose behalf land is acquired under this Act by
a county or borough council is disbanded, the council may either appropriate
the land to any purpose approved by the Local Government Board, or sell it for
the best price that can be reasonably obtained, and any money arising from the
sale shall be applied towards repaying any money borrowed for the purchase of
the land, and so far as not required for that purpose shall be applied to any
purpose to which capital moneys are properly applicable, and which is approved
by the Local Government Board.

Provided that before so appropriating any such land or before selling any such
land, if it is not so appropriated, the council shall offer to sell the same
to the person then entitled to the land (if any) from which the same was
originally severed, and thereupon sections one hundred and twenty-nine to one
hundred and thirty-two, both inclusive, of the
Lands Clauses Consolidation Act, 1845, shall apply as if the land were
superfluous land and the council were the promoters of the undertaking within
the meaning of those sections.
