"There was no overt "seizure" of farms"

They took my Dad's little farm for an airfield and paid him in war bonds. He was only allowed to cash them ten years later - for £100 !

Apologies. No doubt things like that did happen. I should have been more specific and said that it wasn't a general policy to seize ownership of farmland.

But the point you make is an important one. Under those emergency conditions, the government reserved the right to re-purpose all national resources, including land.
