asked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of the improved state of national finance, he will now remove the restrictions on the operation of Sections 14 and 16 of the Agricultural Land (Utilisation) Act, 1931?

Mr. ELLIOT

The position is still as stated in the answer which I gave to the question on the same subject which was put to (me by the hon. Member on the 27th November last.

Mr. WHITE

Would the right hon. Gentleman consult with the Chancellor of the Exchequer with a view to the possibility of removing these restrictions?

Mr. ELLIOT

I am constantly in consultation with my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
