HC Deb 07 September 1893 vol 17 c455
MR. LLOYD-GEORGE (Carnarvon, &c.)

I beg to ask the Secretary' to the Treasury whether the Crown Quarry, called the Gwylwyr Sett Quarry, Carnarvonshire, is being worked by the lessee; and, if not, will he explain why; whether there is any, and, if so, what provision in the lease to compel the lessee to work it; and why that provision is not enforced?

SIR J. T. HIBBERT

The Gwylwyr Sett Quarry is being worked, and there are five men at present employed there. The provisions in the lease for compelling the lessees to work are a certain or dead rent of £50 per annum, and a covenant requiring the lessees to work continuously with at least two able-bodied quarry-men. These provisions are being complied with.
