HC Deb 02 July 1918 vol 107 cc1563-4
18. Captain STANLEY WILSON

asked the President of the Board of Agriculture whether it is intended to take over any more of the Crown lands in the East Riding of Yorkshire for the formation of farm colonies under the Small Holding Colonies (Amendment) Act; and, if so, if he will arrange that the tenants who are to be dispossessed of their holdings shall be given at least eighteen months' notice of such intention?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of AGRICULTURE (Sir R. Winfrey)

The suggestion of the hon. and gallant Member will be carefully considered if and when the Small Holdings Colonies (Amendment) Bill becomes law.
