§ 45. Mr. Parkerasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will make it clear to the Commissioners of Crown Lands that they should improve, modernise and convert into flats, where necessary, the residential properties in their charge, rather than leave such work to be carried out by tenants; and if he will accordingly give instructions that leases should not normally be granted in respect of flats for more than seven years.
§ Mr. T. WilliamsAlthough in appropriate cases the Commissioners of Crown Lands now act as my hon. Friend suggests, a general instruction would not be practicable in view of the provisions of the Crown Lands Acts which bind the activities of the Commissioners.
