MR. J. BRYN ROBERTS (Carnarvonshire, Eifion)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury if he could state to the House what is the total number and acreage of the mountain holdings in Carnarvonshire which have been sold to the tenants; what is the total number and acreage of such holdings which have been re-purchased for quarrying purposes; what is the total sums for which they were sold and for which they were re-purchased; what is the total number and acreage of such holdings which have been enclosed and reclaimed by the tenants or their predecessors in title; and what is the total of the rentals which the tenants are now required to pay?
§ MR. HANBURYThis Question appeared for the first time in to-day's Notice Paper, and I learn from the Office of Woods that they cannot give the information at such short notice, nor indeed before a week has elapsed. If he will allow me, I will consult with the hon. Member as to how far the preparation of this elaborate Return would serve any useful purpose.
