§ 35. Mr. MANDERasked the Minister of Agriculture the present position with regard to the difficulties of the Woden Allotments Association, Wolverhampton, in obtaining allotments; and what steps are being taken by purchase, or otherwise, to supply the urgent demand?
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREI have been asked to reply. An officer of the Ministry is co-operating with the borough council with a view to securing the more adequate provision of land for permanent allotments in the borough. Concrete 470 proposals to this end are being examined and efforts are being made to obtain further land suitable for the purpose. It is hoped that these steps will lead to a satisfactory solution of the association's present difficulties.
§ Mr. MANDERIs the right hon. Gentleman satisfied that the borough council is doing all that it can to provide allotments?
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREI am given to understand that they are.
§ Mr. MANDERWill an inspector keep in touch with the developments?
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREThat is dealt with in my answer.
