32. Mr. De la Bèreasked the Minister of Agriculture whether the Government 831 will now consider preparing schemes for providing long-term credits for farmers and others connected with the agricultural industry at a rate of 2½ or 3½ per cent. in place of the long-term credits which are now available at 5 per cent.?
§ Mr. W. S. MorrisonI have nothing to add to the reply given to my hon. Friend on 8th July last.
Mr. De la BèreIs it not a fact that other industries can borrow money at much more favourable rates than can agriculture?
§ Mr. MorrisonIf my hon. Friend will look at the answer to which I referred he will see the explanation.
§ Major Sir George DaviesAre not the long-term credits in the Vale of Evesham the best in the world?
