HC Deb 26 March 1925 vol 182 c657W
Captain FRASER

asked the Minister of Agriculture if, in view of the additional security proposed to be given to allotment holders under the Allotments Bill and the Government's expressed sympathy with this Measure, he will take such steps as are necessary to ensure that persons now holding allotments in Ken Wood and Parliament Hill Fields are not dispossessed of their allotments before the Bill can have an opportunity of becoming law unless suitable alternative land is provided?

Mr. WOOD

I am not in a position to take any steps in the direction indicated by my hon. and gallant Friend, as neither the London County Council nor any other authority has power to let public open spaces for use as allotments. According to my information, there are now no allotments in Parliament Hill Fields.
