HC Deb 30 April 1923 vol 163 c976
81. Mr. NOEL BUXTON

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether the county councils have in any cases created commons in connection with the provision of small holdings; and, if so, whether he will give figures showing the number and the approximate total acreage?

Sir R. SANDERS

I presume that the hon. Member refers to the provision of common pasture for tenants of small holdings provided by county councils. I have no detailed information as to any such provision, but I am advised that the acreage let in this way is very small.
