§ Mr. CAIRNSasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Agriculture if he is aware of the discontent engendered owing to the compensation being fixed at one year's rent when allotment holders are dispossessed of their allotments; and will he give a more reasonable compensation?
Sir A. BOSCAWENThe hon. Member appears to be under a misapprehension as to the provisions in the Bill relating to compensation for disturbance in the case of an allotment garden. This is not fixed at one year's rent, and may in certain cases amount to considerably more. I am not aware that the proposals in the Bill have caused any wide-spread discontent among allotment holders.
