§ Mr. C. BATHURSTasked the reasons why the Report of the Departmental Committee on the position of farm tenants on the sale of agricultural estates has not yet been issued, although the taking of evidence was completed more than four months ago; and whether such Report is now shortly to be issued?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANThe duty entrusted to the Committee was not an easy one, and it is natural that they should have taken time to consider the terms of the Report. I understand, however, that it will be presented very shortly.
§ Mr. C. BATHURSTIs the delay entirely due to the absence of the Chairman abroad?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANI do not know to what the delay is due.
