HC Deb 11 January 1894 vol 20 cc1320-1
MR. FULLER (Wilts, Westbury)

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether, in order to lessen legal expenses which may occur in the purchase and hire of land or buildings, under the provisions of the Local Government (England and Wales) Bill, he will consider the desirability of adding a form of transfer by gift or purchase, and of a lease, and of an agreement for allotment tenants, in Schedules to the Bill, thereby following the precedent of "The Municipal Corporations Act, 1882"?

THE SECRETARY TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Sir W. FOSTER,) Derby, Ilkeston

(who replied) said: It is not in accordance with the recent practice to schedule forms of this kind to public Acts. They were appended to the Municipal Corporations Act because that was a consolidation Act. The Local Government Board will consider, in connection with any general Circular which they may issue as regards the provisions of the Act, whether they should suggest forms of transfer and lease.
