29. Colonel Sir ARTHUR HOLBROOK

asked the Minister of Agriculture the amount of the loans applied for under the Agricultural Credits Act, 1928, on mortgage of agricultural land and in respect of agricultural improvements, respectively, under the Land Improvements Act; and the amount advanced in respect of these applications?

Mr. GUINNESS

I am informed that the Agricultural Mortgage Corporation, which commenced business only two weeks ago, has under consideration applications for approximately £500,000.

Colonel WOODCOCK

Can the right hon. Gentleman tell us the number of applications?

Mr. GUINNESS

I am afraid that I cannot do that without notice.
