HC Deb 03 September 1895 vol 36 cc1551-2
MR. JASPER MORE (Shropshire, Ludlow)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture, whether the continuation of Parliamentary Paper, C. 6,144, showing the number of allotments and small holdings in the year 1890, is in progress, and when it is likely to be completed?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE (Mr. WALTER LONG,) Liverpool, West Derby

A sum of £3,000 has been provided in the Estimates for the current year for the purposes of the Return to which my hon. Friend refers, and the necessary information is now in process of collection. I am afraid it is too early for me to lame a date for the completion of the work, which is one of considerable magnitude, but I shall be glad to do whatever is in my power to expedite its issue.
