§ Sir T. BENNETTasked the Minister of Agriculture what steps, if any, have been taken to hold public meetings in 30 villages in Kent which are ready to welcome meetings for the establishment of village clubs?
§ Sir R. SANDERSThe Ministry has not itself taken any steps in the direction indicated by my hon. Friend. As indicated in the reply which I gave to him on the 21st March, the steps to be taken in the various counties for the establishment of village clubs and women's institutes are a matter for the Village Clubs Association and the National Federation of Women's Institutes. I am in communication with both these bodies and will communicate the result to my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
