§ Sir HILDRED CARLILEasked whether the right hon. Gentleman has received detailed reports of the working of the small holdings created under the recent Small Holdings Act; and, if so, will he lay the information upon the Table of the House?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANThe Board do not usually receive detailed reports of the working of individual holdings, but information with regard to several of the larger schemes which have been approved by the Board was printed in Part I. of the Annual Report of Proceedings under the Act for 1909, and I shall be glad to 1000 consider whether it would be possible to include similar information in the Report for the current year.
§ Sir H. CARLILEWill the right hon. Gentleman take steps to obtain the information in respect to the smaller holdings?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANNo, Sir. I draw no distinction between the smaller and the larger holdings. The distinction I drew was between individual holdings and special schemes.
§ Sir H. CARLILEIf the right hon. Gentleman will look at the early part of his reply he will see that he makes reference only to large holdings.
§ Mr. RUNCIMANNo.
§ Sir H. CARLILEI think so.
