HC Deb 20 February 1912 vol 34 cc444-5
Mr. BRUNNER

asked the President of the Board of Agriculture whether his attention had been drawn to the recent enclosure by the Doncaster Corporation of portions of Doncaster Common, and to the decision of the corporation to make a further enclosure of a considerable part of the common; and whether the consent of the Board of Agriculture has been applied for or given to such enclosures, or intended enclosures, in accordance with the provisions of the Commons Acts, 1876 and 1899, and the Law of Commons Amendment Act, 1893?

The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of AGRICULTURE (Mr. Runciman)

The Board gave their consent in September, 1908, to the enclosure by the Corporation of Doncaster of 3,200 square yards of the Town Moor. The Board have been informed that further enclosures are contemplated, but no application for their consent under the Commons Acts has been received.
