§ MR. FIELDI beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he will consider the advisability of appointing a Town Holdings Committee to take up the subject of terminable leaseholds at the point where it was abandoned by the previous Town Holdings Committee, which sat some years since but did not issue a complete Report or series of recommendations.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI do not propose to suggest the appointment of a Committee on the subject to which the hon. Gentleman refers in his Question. I do not deny the importance of the Question. I have been inquiring into it, but I am not aware that there is anything upon which a Committee could be expected to throw much light.
§ MR. FLAVINThis is a very important Question. Why not reappoint the Committee and let it complete the inquiry.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI do not deny the importance of the Question, but I am not aware that there is anything to inquire into.
