HC Deb 15 November 1951 vol 493 c1161
56. Mr. Denys Bullard

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he will modify the instruction to county councils which at present prevents the establishment of part-time smallholdings.

Sir T. Dugdale

I am looking carefully into this matter, but I am not at present in a position to make a statement.

Mr. G. Brown

In considering the matter, will the Minister have regard to the unanimous view of the very representative Committee which considered this matter and reported against this form of holding?

Sir T. Dugdale

Yes, Sir. The views of that Committee will be given very careful consideration.
