§ 65. Mr. PATRICK WHITEasked the Secretary to the Treasury whether, having regard to the Governmental recommendation for increased tillage and the necessity for enlarged saving barns consequent on its adoption, he will arrange that applications for building loans to farmers for limited amounts will be favourably considered by the Treasury, especially where it can be shown that the outlay is required to meet the requirements of an increased tillage area?
§ The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. Acland)I understand that the products of extra tillage can be adequately stored without the erection of permanent barns, and indeed a temporary increase of tillage would not provide security for a building loan. On this apart from other grounds, I see no reason to modify the decision already arrived at in regard to these loans.
