§ Mr. Edeasked the Minister of Agriculture the date of the last occasion on which his consent was given to the enclosure of part of Holmwood Common, Surrey, for the extension of a burial ground, the area so enclosed, and the area of any land added to the common to compensate for such enclosure.
Mr. HudsonThe last occasion on which consent was given to the enclosure of part of Holmwood Common, Surrey, for the extension of a burial ground, was 24th July, 1944. The area enclosed was 1 rood 4 perches of land required for the extension of the Churchyard of St. Mary Magdalene; no land was given in exchange, as none was available in the district. The Holmwood Common Protection Society regarded the enclosure as beneficial to the local community, and neither did they nor the Commons, Open Spaces and Footpaths Preservation Society, the County Council, the Dorking U.D.C., the Holmwood Parish Council, nor any of the commoners concerned, raise any objection to it.
