§ Mr. F. ROBERTSasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will have inquiries made into the circumstances that have arisen in the parish of Roxton, Bedfordshire, where the parish council acquired land for allotments in 1920 without any written agreement, sub-let the same land also without any written agreement to the local allotment association, and now that the land has been sold the council have dropped the entire matter, leaving the men on their plots and without giving any notice to quit or notifying them of any change of ownership; and will he instruct one of his inspectors to see that these plot-holders shall be given the full benefit of the Allotment Acts?
