HC Deb 29 January 1931 vol 247 c1184W
Mr. T. GRIFFITHS

asked the Prime Minister whether he has considered the communication addressed to him from the Abersychan Urban District Council, calling his attention to the action of the landlord who is demanding 50 years' purchase for the leasehold land from the lessees in the Garndiffaeth district; and, if so, what steps he proposes to take?

The PRIME MINISTER

I have, received a letter from the clerk to the urban district council though it does not represent the action of the landlord as so definite or so general as my hon. Friend suggests. However regrettable the circumstances, I am advised that the Government have no power to intervene in such transactions.
