HC Deb 01 December 1911 vol 32 c986W
Mr. EYRES-MONSELL

asked the President of the Board of Agriculture if his attention has been called to the recent decision of the Court of Appeal in Kedwell v. Flint; and whether, in view of this decision, he will introduce legislation to carry out the intention of the Agricultural Holdings Acts of 1895, 1906, and 1908?

Mr. HERBERT LEWIS

My right hon. Friend has been informed that proceedings are pending to obtain further consideration by the courts of the question dealt with in the case of Kedwellv. Flint, and it would be premature, therefore, to consider whether legislation should be proposed respecting it.
