§ Mr. EGANasked the Minister of Agriculture if he can now say when the financial assistance, authorised by the supplementary Estimate, for new allotments under the Agricultural Land (Utilisation) Bill will be available?
§ Dr. ADDISONThis financial assistance is already available in connection with the supply of seeds, etc., for the use 1791W of unemployed persons, or persons who are not in full-time employment. These facilities are not confined to persons taking up new allotments but are also available to existing allotment holders who are unemployed or only partly employed. The arrangements made by the committee, of which Sir William 1792W Waterlow is chairman, have been given wide publicity and the committee's chief concern now is that all persons desiring to take advantage of the facilities should put in their application as quickly as possible. I am sending my hon. Friend two leaflets showing the arrangements now in active operation.
