Mr. LYLEasked the Prime Minister whether the Government proposes to take any action and, if so, of what nature, on the recommendations of the Committee on Crown and Government Lands;, whether, under those recommendations, substantial economies in administration are possible or whether staffs would have to be increased: and whether he will place in the Library of the House, for the information of Members, a large scale map showing where the million acres administered by Government Departments are, so that it may be possible to study the need for retaining them?
§ Sir R. HORNEThe Report is under consideration; it is hoped that economies would be possible in the event of its being adopted. It would hardly be practicable to place in the Library a large scale map, showing the situation of 1.200,000 acres, 2297W but I will consider whether a map could not be prepared to give the information desired.
