§ SIR JOHN DORINGTON (Gloucester, Tewkesbury)asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Whether the materials collected by the Agricultural Department would render it practicable to supplement Tables 3, 4, 5, and 6, of the Allotment Returns just presented to Parliament, by similar Tables giving the same information for each union or parish, instead of for counties only, so as to enable a better opinion to be formed as to the localities in which a deficiency of allotment or garden land for the agricultural labourers may exist; and, whether he would cause such further Tables to be presented to Parliament?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE DUCHY (Lord JOHN MANNERS) (Leicestershire, E.)The Statistical Department is now fully engaged in preparing the Agricultural Returns for the year; but I have directed inquiries to be made into the practicability of compiling the information asked for within a reasonable time after those Returns have been issued.
