HC Deb 06 July 1926 vol 197 c1869
37. Major Sir ARCHIBALD SINCLAIR

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether his attention has been drawn to Section 10 of the Government White Paper on Agricultural Policy; and whether it is his intention to introduce legislation with the object of providing that the bona fide agricultural worker will be assisted to acquire as his own property a cottage and a small area of land which he can cultivate in addition to his earnings?

The MINISTER of AGRICULTURE (Mr. Guinness)

I hope to be able to introduce at an early date a Bill to enable local authorities to continue and extend the provision of small holdings The Bill will embody the proposals to which the hon. and gallant Baronet refers.

Mr. HURD

Are we likely to have the Measure before the Recess?

Mr. GUINNESS

Certainly.
