HC Deb 14 May 1936 vol 312 cc554-5
71. Mr. PRICE

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is now in a position to state what measures he is prepared to take for dealing with the derelict condition of the McCreagh estate in Barton Stacey and Wonston?

Mr ELLIOT

I am not yet in a position to make a statement on this matter.

Mr. PRICE

Can the right hon. Gentleman say when he is likely to be in a position to make a statement?

Mr. ELLIOT

I am afraid not.

Mr. PALING

Has not this question been asked at least three times, the first some weeks ago; and will the Minister hurry up and let us know what is being done?

Mr. ELLIOT

Mr. McCreag is an Ulsterman, and three is not an unusual number of times for an Ulsterman to be asked.
