§ Mr. ELLIS DAVIESasked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of the fact that the Scottish Board of Agriculture grant loans for smallholdings for ex-service men at £2 peer cent., including repayment of principal and interest, he can arrange for similar facilities to be granted to local authorities in England and Wales for the provision of cottages for agricultural labourers?
§ Mr. WHEATLEYThe problem of housing agricultural workers will be taken into consideration in connection with the Government's general housing scheme, but I am not at present in a position to make a statement as to the facilities which may be granted under the scheme.
