57. Mr. De la Bèreasked the Minister of Agriculture whether, as regards the plans of the Ministry which have been 1934 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. WilliamsNo 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 BèreDoes my right hon. Friend propose to read, mark and inwardly digest this important document? It is a very important matter.
