Mr. DUNDAS WHITEasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Danish Government has appointed a Commission to report whether State leaseholds should be substituted for, or established in addition to, State freeholds; and, if so, whether that Commission has reported; and what is the substance of their Report?
§ Mr. ACLANDIn the course of the Session 1910–11 a law was passed in the Danish Rigsdag to the effect that a Commission should be appointed to report:—(1) Whether State leaseholds should be established in addition to State freeholds. (2) Whether local government freeholds should be established on the same or similar lines as the existing State freeholds, or proposed State leaseholds. (3) What rules should be adopted generally modifying the existing legislation as to leaseholds, hereditary or not, or freehold, private, State or local, respectively. This Commission has not yet reported, but it is expected that the Report will be published before long.
