§ 57. Captain John Crowderasked the Minister of Agriculture when he intends to introduce legislation dealing with the question of security of tenure of allotment holders.
Mr. T. WilliamsThis and other matters were the subject of a recent report made to me by the Allotments Advisory Committee, whose services I gratefully acknowledge. The report is at present under examination, and I am not yet able to say when it will be possible to introduce any legislation that may be found necessary.
§ Colonel ClarkeDoes not the Minister agree that the extension of allotments is most desirable, and that one of the greatest deterrents to that extension is the present insecurity of tenure. Will he, therefore, try to expedite legislation in accordance with the agriculture Acts?
Mr. WilliamsThese are matters dealt with by the committee which has recently reported, and the report is in print at the moment.
