The Land (study)

The Land was the report of the Land Enquiry Committee set up by David Lloyd George.

It argued that poverty would be reduced by increasing the number of small landownings which farmers had.

The report investigated land ownership and use, and the condition of workers' housing in Great Britain and made recommendations for its improvement.

The committee was chaired by A. H. D. Acland, and included sitting Liberal MPs and the poverty campaigner B. Seebohm Rowntree.

The publications were made while the Land Valuation Survey that was incorporated in the "People's Budget" (Finance (1909-1910) Act was taking place.
