HC Deb 07 November 1912 vol 43 cc1477-8W
Mr. KEBTY-FLETCHER

asked the President of the Board of Agriculture whether he can advance money to the County Council of Cheshire in order that they may lend it to some farmers and small-holding tenants who have suffered from the recent floods?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I have no power to advance money for the purpose to which the hon. Member refers. With regard to the position of small holders I would refer him to the answer which I gave on Monday last to a question addressed to me by the hon. Member for North Hunts.
