HC Deb 17 November 1908 vol 196 cc1021-2
MR. WHITBREAD (Huntingdonshire, Huntingdon)

To ask the hon. Member for South Somerset, as representing the President of the Board of Agriculture whether the Board has any official information showing that at Swineshead, in Bedfordshire, notice to quit his holding has been served by a landowner on a tenant, on the ground that the tenant was an agitator for small holdings and that the owner hoped he would leave the village; and whether the Government will consider the question of providing, by legislation or otherwise, against such occurrences in future.

(Answered by Sir Edward Strachey.) The President is making full inquiry into this matter, and I will be glad to inform my hon. friend of the result.
