§ Mr. RAWLINSONasked the President of the Board of Agriculture whether he intends to empower, by legislation or otherwise, lords of the manor to enclose wastes of the manor for the purpose of allotment cultivation, provided the consent of the tenants of the manor is first obtained?
§ Sir R. WINFREYIt is not proposed to introduce legislation dealing with the inclosure of commons and wastes of the manor. Under the Defence of the Realm Regulations local authorities in urban districts, and agricultural executive committees elsewhere, have power, with the consent of the Board, to enter on common land and arrange for its cultivation as a temporary measure.
