§ MR. O'GRADY (Leeds, E.)I beg to ask the hon. Member for South Somerset, as representing the President of the Board of Agriculture, whether his attention has been called to the prohibition of public meetings upon Wimbledon Common; whether the common conservators have the right so to prohibit meetings or to alter the by-laws without consulting the Board; and what steps will be taken in the matter of preserving the lights hitherto held in respect to public meetings on Wimbledon Common.
§ The TREASURER of the HOUSEHOLD (Sir EDWARD STRACHEY, Somerset, S.)The Board of Agriculture have no jurisdiction in connection with Wimbledon Common, which is controlled by conservators elected and appointed under the provision of a special Act. We have no information as to the by laws in force, and we should not be consulted with regard to any proposed alteration.
