HC Deb 31 July 1935 vol 304 c2650
48. Mr. HENDERSON STEWART

asked the Minister of Agriculture when and by whom the recently announced programme was decided that the Land Settlement Association should create over 3,000 holdings in the next four years and end up with a total of 50,000 family holdings; whether this is the considered objective of the Government; and within what period of years this programme is to be accomplished?

Mr. ELLIOT

I do not think the Land Settlement Association have adopted the programme of development which is to follow on the completion of the experimental work on which they are now engaged. The second and third parts of the question do not, therefore, arise.
