§ Mr. GEORGE ROBERTSasked the hon. Member for South Somerset if he is aware that Mr. J. Howard, Billingford, North Elmham, Norfolk, applied to the Norfolk County Council for land under the Small Holdings and Allotments Act in January, 1908, and is still unaware whether such will be supplied him; is he aware that Mr. Howard is under notice to leave his present holding at Michaelmas next, and that unless other land be found him he will be compelled to dispose of his hardly-acquired stock; and can he state what action is being taken in the matter?
§ Sir E. STRACHEYWe are informed that Mr. Howard did not receive notice to quit, but that he himself gave his landlord notice. The land agent of the county council is negotiating for land for him, and has recently been in communication with him on the matter.
