§ Sir H. Morris-Jonesasked the Minister of Agriculture how many acres have been scheduled by the Forestry Commission for planting in the County of Denbigh; how many individual farm holdings are involved; what is the acreage for each; what length of notice is given to each tenant; whether the determination is final in each case; and whether any compensation is paid for disturbance and loss of income.
§ Mr. T. WilliamsOf 9,480 acres of land scheduled by the Forestry Commissioners for planting in the County of Denbigh, 3,487 acres still remain to be planted. Eighteen individual farm holdings will be involved, comprising 2,321 acres of enclosed land and 3,695 acres of moorland grazing, of which 627 acres of the enclosed land and 2,860 acres of the moorland grazing will be taken. The acreage of the individual holdings varies from 41 to 342 acres of enclosed land plus open moorland grazing. In all except two cases, 12 months' notice has been, or will be, given. The two exceptions relate to404W 364-day tenancies, which expire on 29th September in each year, and in these cases three months' notice of non-renewal will be given. When notice is given to resume the plantable land, determination will be final in each case so far as that land is concerned, and the balance of agricultural land will be relet or left in the present tenant's occupation as appropriate. Compensation for disturbance is payable in accordance with the provisions of the Agricultural Holdings Acts.
