MR. WREN HOSKINSasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, If he will lay upon the Table of the House the Returns of the Nominal List of every owner of land to the extent of one acre and upwards throughout England which the Government undertook to furnish in answer to a question put in the House of Lords of the 19th February 1872?
§ MR. STANSFELD,in reply, said, that the Returns were being prepared in connection with the Local Government Board, and he would, therefore, answer the Question which had been put to his right hon. Friend the Secretary for the Home Department. The Returns would be placed on the Table at no distant period. They were not yet complete, and he did not propose to lay 892 a part of the Returns before the House. He could give no definite promise when they would be completed, except that he had no doubt they would be laid on the Table of the House during the present Session. The Returns generally had to be sent back for correction, so that the work was complicated; but he hoped they would be laid on the Table by the end of June.
