HC Deb 22 July 1918 vol 108 cc1452-3
51. Mr. WRIGHT

asked the Prime Minister if he will consider legislation or the modification of existing Treasury restrictions so as to enable, by increasing their powers of borrowing, county councils to take advantage of the numerous sales of land now taking place throughout the country and to provide holdings for such sailors and soldiers who on discharge may desire to return and settle on the land?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I can add nothing to the reply which I gave on the 12th ultimo to the hon. Member for Tavistock, of which I am sending my hon. Friend a copy.
