§ Mr. W. S. MorrisonI have nothing to add to the reply given on 1st November to a similar question by my hon. Friend the Member for Evesham (Mr. De la Bère).
Mr. De la BèreIs my right hon. Friend aware that for three years I have been endeavouring to get something done in this direction?
§ Mr. MorrisonThe problem is a difficult one, as I have previously told the House, and it has been under consideration, but recent events have made the matter one to be dealt with more quickly.
§ Mr. T. WilliamsHas the right hon. Gentleman any knowledge of the real indebtedness of the farmers of this country or the desire on the part of farmers to take large credits?
§ Mr. MorrisonYes, I have a certain amount of information on both heads.
