5. Mr. OUTHWAITE

asked the President of the Board of Agriculture if his attention has been drawn to the intention of the Duke of Marlborough to put 1,000 acres under the plough in Blenheim Park for the production of wheat; and if he can state the area of park land in England and Wales, and to what extent it could be put to a similar use?

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

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative; and the answer to both branches of the latter part is in the negative.
