Agricultural Rents (Survey) (Hansard, 17 July 1958)

HC Deb 17 July 1958 vol 591 c1417 1417

§ 14. Mr. Willey
asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what progress the Department of Estate Management at Cambridge has made with its report on agricultural rents.

§ Mr. Godber
My right hon. Friend is informed that the results of the Department of Estate Management's survey are being tabulated and that it hopes to publish its report before the end of the year.

§ Mr. Willey
In view of this statement and the wholesale opposition in the farming community to the rent provisions of the present Bill, will the Government even at this late stage withdraw those provisions?

§ Mr. Godber
The answer is "No, Sir".
