HC Deb 06 May 1909 vol 4 cc1337-8W
Mr. MORRELL

asked the hon. Member for South Somerset whether extra Commissioners have yet been appointed for any counties besides Wiltshire and Lancashire, and whether any other appointments are now contemplated?

Sir E. STRACHEY

No further appointments have as yet been made, but the position of several of the more backward counties is being closely watched and further appointments will be at once made-if it appears that the provision of small holdings for those who desire them will be expedited thereby.
