Whether a local authority has taken part in preparing a town-planning scheme or not it may submit to the Minister of Health and the Minister of Labour schemes for providing allotments, not exceeding one quarter of an acre in extent, for every unemployed man on the live register within that area who is willing to cultivate such allotment and is reasonably fit for such work.—[Mr. Lawson.]

Brought up, and read the First time.

Mr. LAWSON

I beg to move, "That the Clause be read a Second time."

In view of the fact that the discussion on a previous Clause included this New Clause, I beg formally to move.

Mr. T. WILLIAMS

I beg to second the Motion.

Question put, "That the Clause be read a Second time."

The House divided: Ayes, 59; Noes, 85.
