§ Mr. Watkinsasked the Minister of Agriculture why his Department will not inform Mr. J. Jones, The Bryn Farm, Llangammarch Wells, Breconshire, of the reasons for the appointed Commissioner refusing to Mr. Jones compensation for loss of commonable rights in the matter of the acquisition by the War Department of the Mynydd Eppynt North Common, Breconshire.
§ Mr. T. WilliamsThe claim of Mr. J. Jones for a share of the commonable rights compensation money in respect of 227W the taking by the War Office of part of Mynydd Eppynt North Common was considered by the Commissioner appointed by my predecessor. Evidence in support of this claim and all other similar claims, was submitted to and carefully examined by the Commissioner at meetings in the locality specially convened for the purpose, and where he considered on such evidence that a share of the money was properly payable to a claimant he awarded accordingly, but otherwise no payment was made. As the Commissioner's award is binding on all parties, I have no power to re-open the matter.
