HC Deb 14 December 1922 vol 159 c3156
100. Mr. ROYCE

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he will consider the advisability of introducing legislation to prevent the wasting of available assets, to the detriment of all other creditors who agree to an assignment, during the abnormal agricultural depression, and the right of any creditor over £50 to place the farmers' estate in bankruptcy?

Viscount WOLMER

I do not think it would be practicable to amend the Bankruptcy Act purely in respect of farmers.
