HC Deb 22 March 1937 vol 321 c2545
25. Mr. Lyons

asked the Minister of Agriculture when he expects to be able to make a statement on the matters forming the subject of recent representations by the National Society of Allotment Holders?

The Minister of Agriculture (Mr. W. S. Morrison)

The representations of the society are receiving my careful consideration, but I am afraid that I cannot hold out any hope of early legislation on the subject of allotments.

Mr. Lyons

In view of the very great importance of allotment cultivation in these times, will my right hon. Friend expedite a decision on the matters which were represented to him by the society?

Mr. Morrison

There will be no delay in consideration, but this is a question of priority, because I have things more important occupying my attention at the moment.
