HC Deb 23 April 1931 vol 251 c1151
58. Major CARVER

asked the Minister of Agriculture if, in view of the extra money now being voted for the creation of allotments, he can state, by counties, the estimated number of allotments now in existence?

Dr. ADDISON

Returns showing the number of allotments on the 31st December, 1930, are now being tabulated and the figures will be available in about a month. In view of the fact that there are approximately 12,000 local authorities responsible for the provision of allotments, I cannot see my way to incur the expense which would be involved in preparing special returns.
