§ MR. CLYNES (Manchester, N. E.)To ask the President of the Local Government Board whether a loan was sanctioned for the purchase of the land behind the Hammersmith guardians' office;" and whether, when the land was obtained, there was any stipulation that it should not be used for sand extraction or in a manner to depreciate the land as a building site.
(Answered by Mr. John Burns.) A loan was sanctioned for the purchase of 1386 a piece of land which includes that referred to in the Question. The land, which is freehold, was conveyed to the guardians free from any restrictive covenants whatsoever.
