§ 69. Colonel HARRY LAWSONasked the President of the Local Government Board whether he will consider the expediency of issuing circulars to local authorities throughout the country asking them to encourage the working classes to keep poultry as a means to assist the food supplies of the community, by not en forcing existing restrictions as to keeping poultry in urban and semi-rural areas, and to appeal to property owners not to enforce restrictive covenants in leases and agreements to this effect when they can be advantageously disposed with?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of AGRICULTURE (Mr. Acland)Yes, Sir, the best way of carrying out the hon. Member's suggestion is being considered.
