§ Sir K. WOODasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he has received any recent reports from officers of his Department as to their consultations with local authorities with a view to extending the area of land available for allotments; and whether he is satisfied that allotment committees are properly discharging their duties?
§ Mr. N. BUXTONAs regards the first part of the question, I have nothing to add to the answer given to a similar question put by the right hon. Member on 13th March. In reply to the second part of the question, I have no reason to think that allotment committees generally are not discharging their duties properly, but if any specific cases of neglect are reported to me I shall be glad to inquire into them.
