Mr. CATHCART WASONasked how many small holdings and how many allotments have been established under the provisions of the Small Holdings and Allotments Act, 1908; the average annual cost incurred by his Department in respect of the same; and the cost to the county and parish councils, respectively?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANI will circulate the answer with the Votes and Proceedings. [See Written Answers this date.]
Sir G. PARKERHas the right hon. Gentleman in the answer included the fact that the cost of administration is charged to the tenants. What is included in the figures?
