HC Deb 17 June 1925 vol 185 cc536-7W
Mr. HARTSHORN

asked the Minister of Agriculture, in view of the fact that the Charity Commissioners have definitely declared the application of the Porthcawl Rural District Council to exchange the charity land of the labouring poor for land inferior in value, whether he proposes to take any steps in the matter?

Mr. WOOD

The application for this exchange is supported by reports and professional valuations, indicating that the lands are of equal value. Various representations made by the applicants and the objectors are being carefully examined, and, pending the completion of these investigations, I am not yet in a position to arrive at a decision.
