43. Mr. De la Bèreasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is now in a position to make some statement regarding the Government's plans to provide both long-term and short-term credit facilities for agriculture?
§ Sir W. WomersleyNo, Sir, my right hon. Friend has nothing to add to the replies given to my hon. Friend on 24th April and 22nd May.
Mr. De la BèreDoes my hon. Friend not realise that this matter is one of extreme urgency, and is he aware that for three years there have been no increased facilities for agricultural credits? Does he really think that this can go on indefinitely? It is profoundly unsatisfactory.
