HC Deb 03 May 1911 vol 25 cc441-2
Mr. HAYDN JONES

I beg to ask the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Agriculture a question of which I have given him private notice, whether it is the ease that the President of the Board, Earl Carrington, vetoed the compulsory order of the county council of Merionethshire for acquiring land for small holdings in that county?

Sir E. STRACHEY

Yes, Sir.

Mr. HAYDN JONES

Can the hon. Baronet give the House the reasons why the Board took that action?

Sir E. STRACHEY

I think my hon. Friend will see lie must give me notice of that question. It would be impossible for me to give the reasons of my Noble Friend without notice.
