HC Deb 13 May 1909 vol 4 c2012
Mr. SEDDON

asked the hon. Member for South Somerset, as representing the President of the Board of Agriculture, whether his attention has been called to refusals of landlords, based on section 11, sub-section (a), of the Agricultural Holdings Act, 1908, of compensation to tenant farmers for unreasonable disturbance when they have received notice to quit on account of their holdings being required for small holdings and allotments; and whether he will take steps, by legislation or otherwise, to deal with such cases?

The TREASURER of the HOUSEHOLD (Sir E. Strachey)

No specific case of the kind to which my hon. Friend refers has been brought to our notice. The President has no intention of introducing legislation on the subject.
