HC Deb 27 August 1887 vol 320 c167
SIR GEORGE CAMPBELL (Kirkcaldy, &c.)

asked, Whether the President of the Local Government Board had prepared any definition of the meaning of an allotment?

THE PRESIDENT (Mr. RITCHIE) (Tower Hamlets, St. George's)

said, he thought this was a question that, if it was to be raised, should be raised in Committee on the Allotments Bill. He had considered the matter, and had come to the conclusion that, undoubtedly, an allotment did include a garden allotment. But if he were to insert any words to define what was an allotment, he should probably not extend, but restrict, the meaning of the word.
