MR. T. F. RICHARDSI beg to ask the hon. Member for South Somerset, as representing the President of the Board of Agriculture, whether any case has yet occurred in which the Commissioners have reported to the Board that it is desirable that a scheme should be made and the Board have forwarded that report to the county council, as provided in Section 3 of the Small Holdings Act, so as to enable the Board, if the county council fail to take action, to direct the Commissioners without further delay themselves to prepare a scheme.
§ SIR EDWARD STRACHEYNo such case has yet arisen.
§ MR. MORRELLUnder Section 2, subsection (3), is it not the duty of the Commissioners as soon as they are aware there is a demand for land to at once make a report to the Board?
§ * MR. SPEAKERReally hon. Members who have so many Questions to ask should put them on the Paper. They are of a highly technical character, and it is not fair to a Minister who is answering for a Minister in the other House not to give him full notice.
