HC Deb 12 October 1944 vol 403 cc1933-4
57. Mr. De la Bère

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether, as regards the plans of the Ministry which have been formulated for land settlement of ex-Servicemen and their post-war livelihood and the question of smallholdings, he can give an assurance that the Ministry have consulted with and obtained the evidence of the Land Settlement Association.

Mr. T. Williams

No such plans as those referred to by my hon. Friend have been formulated. My right hon. Friend has received a memorandum setting out the views of the Land Settlement Association.

Mr. De la Bère

Does my right hon. Friend propose to read, mark and inwardly digest this important document? It is a very important matter.
