§ MR. JESSE COLLINGSI beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he can 922 state the intentions of the Government with regard to legislation on the question of "small holdings" of land?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. GOSCHEN, St. George's, Hanover Square)The hon. Member is aware that the intention of the Government to deal with this question was announced in the gracious Speech from the Throne. It has boon impossible to do so owing to the press of other business during the present Session, but the Government have in no way departed from that intention, and my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Agriculture will introduce a Bill on this subject next Session.
