§ MR. JESSE COLLINGS (Birmingham, Bordesley)To ask the hon. Member for South Somerset, as representing the President of the Board of Agriculture, if he will state how many of the applications for small holdings which have been approved by the County Council of Gloucestershire were from bona fide agricultural labourers; and to how many such applicants have small holdings been granted.
(Answered by Sir Edward Strachey.) Eighty-two, nine of whom have been supplied with small holdings. There are, I may add, other approved applicants who are engaged as agricultural labourers at certain periods of the year.
