HC Deb 23 March 1933 vol 276 cc493-4
56. Mr. HALL-CAINE

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether, as a result of the new opportunities available for farmers through the operation of tariffs, marketing schemes, and the Wheat; Act, and in view of the lower interest rates now obtaining, he will take steps to arrange for improved credit arrangements to be available to agriculturalists through the Agricultural Mortgage Corporation?

Major ELLIOT

The terms upon which loans are made by the Agricultural Mortgage Corporation must be entirely matters for the Corporation, and I have no authority to intervene.
