COUNTY Councillor Stephen Clee (You Say, Jun 27) says it cost the British taxpayer £15.3m to buy the Throckmorton site.

Earlier this year, (Evening News, January 28) he told us the land belonged to the Ministry of Defence. Chapter and verse please, Mr Clee! Who bought what from whom at £15.3m and when?

I can't find much of this passing through local or national newspapers. Which Ministry is picking up the tab for these debts?
