§ MR. SCOTT-MONTAGU (Hants, New Forest)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether, considering that the Public Works Loan Commissioners are authorised under the provisions of "The Small Holdings Act, 1892," to advance money for the purchase of land under the said Act by the County Council, advances can be made by the said Commissioners for the purchase of land for allotment purposes by County Councils under the provisions of the Allotments Acts, 1887 and 1890?
§ MR. H. H. FOWLERThe Public Works Loan Commissioners are empowered to lend, under the Allotments Acts, 1887 and 1890, to County Councils whatever sums they are by those Acts authorised to borrow.
