HC Deb 09 June 1921 vol 142 cc2097-8W
Mr. J. GUEST

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is now in a position to communicate the result of his inquiries into the position of allotment holders at Westfield Park, Balby, Doncaster, who have received notice to quit; if he is aware that this notice has been given by the agents of the owners, whereas it appears that the allotments are held through the Doncaster Town Council, to whom the allotment holders have paid their rent; and whether he can now see his way to rescind these notices?

Sir A. BOSCAWEN

Enquiries have been made into this case by one of the Ministry's inspectors, but the facts have not yet been definitely ascertained. I am communicating with the owners' solicitors, and I hope to be in a position to furnish the hon. Member with further information shortly. The notices in question do not expire until February, 1922.
