HC Deb 09 May 1907 vol 174 cc360-1
MR. CATHCART WASON (Orkney and Shetland)

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board if he can state in how many cases local authorities have interfered under the Act of 1894 to prevent enclosure of commons or to protect paths or rights of way; in how many they have been successful, and in how many they have failed.

MR. JOHN BURNS

I am not able to give my hon. friend the particulars he desires. The Act does not require the local authorities to notify to the Local Government Board any action taken by them in relation to this matter.
