HC Deb 07 May 1934 vol 289 c731
19. Mr. T. SMITH

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he is aware that a right of way has recently been closed by the landlord at Greenhow Hill, Yorkshire, which has been used by an agricultural family, named Newbould, for over 200 years; that this closing order renders farming operations for the latter most difficult; and will he intervene on the tenant's behalf?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

My right hon. Friend has no information of this matter; neither has he any jurisdiction or power to intervene.

Mr. SMITH

If I come round to the right hon. Gentleman's room, will he go into the matter and make representations on it?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

I understand that this is entirely a matter for the rural district council, and not for the Ministry of Agriculture.
