§ Mr. ROWLANDSasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Agriculture whether he can state in what counties, if any, the Small Holdings Commissioners have acted in default of the county council to supply the demand for small holdings; and the acreage of land, if any, that has been acquired by the Commissioners in each of such counties, respectively?
§ Sir E. STRACHEYNo order under Section 6 (2) of the Act of 1908 has been made against any County Council. One such order has been made in the County Borough of Bournemouth, in which case the Commissioner has arranged to acquire forty-eight acres on a seven years' lease by agreement with one of the landowners.
