§ SIR WALTER FOSTER (Derby, Ilkeston)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether he is aware that in some parts of the country the churchwardens and overseers of the poor hold land which has been inclosed for cultivation as allotments under 1 & 2 William IV., c. 42; and whether he can state where any record of such lands can be found; and, if none exists, whether he can give the particulars as to the parishes in which allotment ground is so held?
§ MR. RITCHIEI am aware that, in some parts of the country the churchwardens and overseers of the poor hold land which has been enclosed for cultivation as allotments under 1 & 2 William IV., c. 42, but I am unable to give the particulars as to the parishes in which allotment ground is so held. I believe that the cases are by no means numerous, but I do not know where any record of such lands can be found.
