§ Mr. LUNDONasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Agriculture if he will state bow many tenancies were determined in Great Britain because of the tillage schemes; and what was the nature of the compensation granted to the owners in such cases?
§ Mr. PROTHEROThe number of agricultural tenancies determined in England and Wales under the Defence of the Realm Regulations up to the 15th instant was 667. In a large number of these cases the tenancies have been determined in accordance with the wishes or with the acquiescence of the owners and no claim for compensation has been made against the Board, but in cases where executive committees are in possession of land of which the former tenancy has been determined the nature of the compensation paid to the owner has been an annual sum in respect of loss of rent.
