HC Deb 03 November 1938 vol 340 c387W
Major Carver

asked 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. Morrison

I 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.
