HC Deb 10 February 1887 vol 310 cc1094-5
MR. JASPER MORE (Shropshire, Ludlow)

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Whether, in view of the interest felt in questions relating to the occupation of land, the Agricul- tural Department would see any objection to authorize the addition of a line to the annual form now about to be issued to owners and occupiers of land, with a view of ascertaining how many owners farm their own land?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE DUCHY (Lord JOHN MANNERS) (Leicestershire, E.)

Yes; we think the annual form may be advantageously enlarged so as to include the information asked for in the Question; and I shall be happy to communicate with the hon. Member as to the wording of the addition.
