HC Deb 05 August 1947 vol 441 cc132-3W
50. Mr. Emrys Roberts

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why his Department have not yet completed the acquisition of the Glanllyn Estate, Llanuwchllyn, Merioneth, although the decision to do so was announced at Whitsun, 1946; and whether he will now reply to the representations made by the hon. Member for Merioneth, dealing with the hardship to the tenants which the present position causes.

Mr. Dalton

Because the draft contract for the conveyance of this estate to the Treasury was not received from the solicitors to the Trustees until 8th July last. An answer to the hon. Member's letter has been sent to him, pointing out that until the conveyance of the property is complete, responsibility for its management must remain with the present owners.
