“A parish council was entitled to use its power under either section 32 of the Small Holdings and Allotments Act 1908 or section 27 of the Commons Act 1876 to sell land containing garden allotments which had come under its management by virtue of section 33 of the 1908 Act. Where the land had been acquired but not purchased for use as allotments, section 8 of the Allotments Act 1925 did not apply and the consent of the Secretary of State was not required for the sale.”
