§ Dr. PETERSasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will give favourable consideration to cheaper credit facilities for farmers, smallholders, and market-gardeners, to enable them to overcome the present period of agricultural depression; and, if so, whether he will receive a deputation thereon?
§ Mr. N. BUXTONUntil we have had more experience of the working of the Agricultural Credits Act, 1928, I am not prepared to consider any further legislation on this subject. In these circumstances, I do not think any useful purpose would be served by my receiving a deputation.
