§ Lords Amendment: Leave out the Clause.
1900§ Dr. ADDISONI beg to move, "That this House doth disagree with the Lords in the said Amendment".
§ Colonel LANE FOXThere are many counties which at the present moment are doing well and carrying out their duty in regard to the provisions of smallholdings, and I do not think it would be advisable to withhold from them the privileges that other counties have got. This Bill seems to be creating a new class of subsidised smallholders.
§ Dr. ADDISONNo, that is quite wrong. We are offering them the same terms, and we are simply carrying out the old arrangements.
§ Colonel LANE FOXWhat I am afraid of is that under the terms of this Bill the conditions will be altered. I suggest that many county councils have carried out their duty, and have done their work very well in this respect.
§ Dr. ADDISONI agree that some county councils have done excellently and all we want is to ensure that they will go on doing their duty in this respect.
§ Sir DOUGLAS NEWTONWe have been told that the county councils are not doing all that they ought to do in regard to the provision of smallholdings. Whatever view the Minister takes I respectfully suggest that by this Bill he is setting up a dual system of smallholdings management. Any loss incurred in regard to furnishing smallholdings will have to be borne by the taxpayer.
§ Question put, "That this House doth disagree with the Lords in the said Amendment."
§ The House divided: Ayes, 198; Noes, 122.
