HC Deb 19 February 1919 vol 112 cc980-1W
Major PRESCOTT

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Agriculture if his attention has been drawn to the great loss sustained by allotment cultivators on the East Hale site, Tottenham, owing to the trespass of sheep; and whether he will sympathetically consider their reasonable claims for compensation, in view of the fact that they responded to the call of the President to cultivate this land for the production of home-grown food during the recent food crisis?

Sir A. GRIFFITH-BOSCAWEN

The attention of the Board has been drawn to this matter by the Tottenham Urban District Council, but they have been obliged to inform the council that they regret they have no power to pay compensation in cases of this kind.
