ACQUISITION OF LAND ACT, 1919.

HC Deb 09 December 1919 vol 122 c1139

76. Mr. PRETYMAN

asked what is the cause of the delay in the appointment of the referees under the Acquisition of Land Act, 1919?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

Until recently there was no case ready for reference to an official arbitrator under the Act. Authority has now been given for the immediate appointment of three arbitrators, which is considered sufficient for the present.
