§ 40. Brigadier-General CLIFTON BROWN (for Major CARVER)asked the Minister of Agriculture if he will state the abatement of rent allowed to any tenants of Crown agricultural land in the calendar year 1932?
§ Major ELLIOTAbatements of agricultural rents made by the Commissioners of Crown Lands for the period ending at Lady Day in each year amounted in 1931–32 to £9,907, and will amount in 1932–33 to approximately £7,666. The Commissioners do not make abatements at a flat percentage rate, but consider the case of each farm on its merits.
