HC Deb 17 November 1949 vol 469 cc2196-7
64. Mr. Dye

asked the Minister of Agriculture when it is proposed to acquire additional land for smallholdings under Part IV of the Agriculture Act, 1947.

Mr. T. Williams

The initiative in this matter lies with the Smallholdings Authorities, who have been informed that, subject to the necessity of keeping capital investment within reasonable limits, a start can be made with providing additional smallholdings. Some proposals have already been received and are under consideration.
