Captain TERRELLasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Agriculture how many new allotments have been created since the beginning of the year; and how many have reverted to other uses?
Sir A. BOSCAWENI regret that I am not in a position to supply the statistics asked for. A return will be obtained after the end of the year from each Allotment Authority in England and Wales showing the acreage acquired for allotments and the number of allotment holders provided for under the Small Holdings and Allotments Act, 1908, and the Land Settlement (Facilities) Act, 1919, and it is proposed to embody in the Ministry's Annual Report to Parliament under Section 59 of the Small Holdings and Allotments Act,]908, a summary of the information thus obtained.
