§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Clause stand part of the Bill."
§ Mr. ACLANDCan the right hon. Gentleman say whether, as I believe is the case, an entirely satisfactory arrangement has been come to with the Commons and Footpaths Preservation Society with regard to what is to be given in exchange for what is taken? I understand that these matters have been negotiated with the Commons and Footpaths Preservation Society, but I think it is best that the right hon. Gentleman should make a statement that they have been settled in a friendly and satisfactory way.
