HC Deb 15 March 1920 vol 126 cc1808-9
61. Mr. WALLACE

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether, in view of the serious hardship inflicted on property owners in Fifeshire through subsidence damage, he can say when the Government intend to introduce their promised Compensation for Subsidence Bill?

Mr. BONAR LAW (Leader of the House)

I regret that owing to pressure of business I cannot at present say when it will be possible to introduce a Bill on this subject.

Mr. WALLACE

In view of the fact that the Subsidence Bill of last year received almost general support, will the right hon. Gentleman consider the propriety of treating this as an agreed question?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I will consult the Departments again, and if it is possible we will certainly do it.
