HC Deb 19 December 1906 vol 167 c1528
MR. MACLEAN (Bath)

I beg to ask the Prime Minister whether, in any forthcoming Government Bill dealing with the land question in England and Wales, he will include powers for town tenants to obtain compensation for improvements, and, in the case of long leaseholds, such powers as will enable leaseholders to acquire the freehold upon reasonable terms.

THE PRIME MINISTER AND FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Sir H. Campbell-Bannerman, Stirling Burghs)

I think it is premature to make any statement on this subject. Our general views are well known.
