HC Deb 16 May 1912 vol 38 cc1439-40W
Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCK

asked the President of the Board of Agri- culture why five applicants for small holdings belonging to the Limpsfield Land Club, who have approved applicants for four years, who were received on a deputation by Lord Carrington in November, 1908, and have since been interviewed by three inspectors from the Board of Agriculture, and again by Mr. Talbot Baines at Limpsfield in October, 1911, are still without land?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I am informed by the county council that there are only three applicants from Limpsfield on their books, and that all of them have received and declined offers of suitable land. I shall be happy to give the Noble Lord more detailed information than it is possible to give in a reply to a Parliamentary question if he so desires. I understand that the county council are still endeavouring to obtain land to satisfy these applicants.
