§ 36. Major CARVERasked the Minister of Agriculture what has been the profit or loss each year resulting from the operation of Woodhouse Grange farm, Sutton-on-Derwent, by the Commissioners of Crown Lands during the past three years; whether this farm hits been offered on lease; and, if so, on what terms?
§ Sir G. BOWYERThis farm containing 685 acres came into hand at 5th April, 1931. A loss of about £1,000 was incurred during the year to 5th April, 1932, but the accounts for the year to 5th April, 1933, have not yet been completed. The farm has been advertised to let on several occasions during the past two years, but no applicant has come forward who was prepared to make an acceptable offer for it. The Crown Surveyors informed one applicant that they would be prepared to recommend the Commissioners to accept a rent of £400 per annum.
