§ SIR WALTER FOSTER (Derby, Ilkeston)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether he is aware that a parish council has been reprimanded by an auditor of the Local Government Board for charging to the tenants of allotments a rent only covering the outlay on such allotments, and 1229 has been advised to add a further sum to cover unforeseen contingencies; and whether the auditor was authorised in such a course, seeing that by letting to an association all risks from voids would be met?
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (MR. H. CHAPLIN,) Lincolnshire, SleafordI have no information as to the case to which the hon. Member refers, but I will make inquiry as to the facts if I am informed of the name of the parish council which has given rise to the Question.
