§ 3. Mr. H. WILLIAMSasked the Minister of Agriculture whether it is his intention to introduce a Bill to provide for chattel mortgages in connection with the scheme for agricultural credits, and whether he has received any representations to the effect that the introduction of chattel mortgages would have the effect of reducing existing credit facilities for agriculturists?
§ The MINISTER of AGRICULTURE (Mr. Guinness)This matter is still under consideration, and I regret that I am not 686 yet in a position to make a statement. In regard to the last part of the question, I am aware that this opinion is held in some quarters, but I have not received direct representations on the subject.
