HC Deb 28 June 1877 vol 235 c402
COLONEL KINGSCOTE

asked the Secretary to the Treasury, Whether he is prepared to lay before the House the opinion of the Law Officers of the Crown as to the powers possessed by Her Majesty's Commissioners of Woods and Forests to sell land in the Forest of Dean under the Act 10 Geo. 3, c. 50, s. 98, or under any other Act?

MR. W. H. SMITH,

in reply, said, he had communicated with the Commissioners, and found that the opinion of the Law Officers had not yet been obtained. There had been a conference on the subject, and when the opinion was expressed he would state the substance of it. It was not usual to lay upon the Table the opinions themselves.
