§ 46. Mr. Anthony Hurdasked the Minister of Agriculture how many farmers were dispossessed on grounds of bad husbandry in 1951; how many are under supervision now and how many have been under supervision for more than a year.
§ Sir T. DugdaleOrders to terminate the occupancy of 70 farmers on grounds of bad husbandry became effective in 1951. On 28th February, 1952, 1,588 farmers were under supervision, 1,014 of whom had been under supervision for more than a year.
§ Mr. HurdDo these figures suggest to my right hon. and gallant Friend that the time has come to revise the whole of this procedure?
§ Sir T. DugdaleI am looking into the whole position very carefully.
