HC Deb 03 May 1926 vol 195 c11
22. Mr. GRIFFITHS

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he can give figures showing the amount of land that is diverted from agricultural uses in order to be devoted to golf or other games and to the provision of private parks?

Mr. GUINNESS

No statistics are available at present of the area of land devoted to the purposes mentioned, but some inquiries have recently been made on the subject, and it is hoped to publish the results of these inquiries in the Report on the Agricultural Census of Production which will probably be issued before the end of the year.

Mr. NOEL BUXTON

Will the right hon. Gentleman endeavour to adapt the annual returns so as to get, if possible, full information in regard to this subject?

Mr. GUINNESS

I will see how far that is practicable.
