§ Major Carverasked the Minister of Agriculture what resolutions he has received from agricultural bodies appealing for an investigation into the extent and character of derelict land throughout the country, with a view to the establishment of national measures for its return to such productivity as is commercially practicable; and whether he is taking the steps suggested?
§ Mr. W. S. MorrisonI have within the last few days received a resolution from the County Councils' Association in the terms indicated by my hon. and gallant Friend, but for the reasons stated in the reply I gave on the 4th July last to the hon. Member for Don Valley (Mr. T. Williams) I do not think that an investigation on the lines proposed is necessary.
