§ MR. BENNETTI beg to ask the hon. Member for South Somerset, as representing the President of the Board of Agriculture, whether it is the intention of the Small Holdings Commissioners to compile a complete record of all applications received and dealt with under the Small Holdings Act of 1907.
§ * SIR EDWARD STRACHEYThe Board can and do obtain from county councils any information they may require as to applications received, and the President does not think any useful purpose would be served by adopting the suggestion of my hon. friend.
§ MR. MORRELLIs it possible to ascertain the demand for land as required by the Act without compiling a record?
§ * SIR EDWARD STRACHEYCertainly. [Cries of "How?"]
