HC Deb 30 November 1908 vol 197 c1093
MR. ROGERS (Wiltshire, Devizes)

I beg to ask the hon. Member for South Somersetshire, as representing the President of the Board of Agriculture, whether the Commissioners of Woods and Forests will make it a practice in the future to give the first offer of all vacant farms in their possession to the small holdings committee of the county in which they are situate.

The TREASURER OF THE HOUSEHOLD (Sir EDWARD STRACHEY,) Somersetshire, S.

Yes, but with due regard of course to the circumstances of each case.
