§ SIR WALTER FOSTER (Derby, Ilkeston)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether he will state the number of orders for compulsory hiring of land, under Section 10 of the Local Government Act, 1894, deposited with, the Board during the year ending March, 1899, and whether there were any orders which the Board did not confirm.
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. CHAPLIN,) Lincolnshire, Sleaford
Two orders of the kind referred to in the question were deposited with the Local Government Board during the year ended March last. In one of these cases the order was confirmed by the Board. The other case was not proceeded with in consequence of the application for the land being withdrawn.
