60. Mr. De la Bèreasked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of the importance of the work which has been carried out by the county war agricultural executive committees, he will make some general statement of what has been accomplished; and what are the Government's intentions regarding the operation of their future policy?
Mr. HudsonOn reflection my hon. Friend will, I think, realise that it is impossible to deal with the matters referred to by way of Question and answer. There may perhaps be an opportunity in the near future for these matters to be raised in Debate.
Mr. De la BèreMay I assure my right hon. Friend that I am not attempting to belittle the good work done by the committees but am pointing out that what is required is some machinery so that, in cases where a decision has been unfortunate, there will be a right of appeal? We do not want to perpetuate the committees after the war in their existing form.
