HC Deb 17 November 1938 vol 341 cc1069-70W
Major Carver

asked the Minister of Agriculture what has been the approximate amount of capital made available to farmers on long-term loans during each of the past five years; and whether he will now give an assurance that legislation will be introduced at an early opportunity to revise the present inadequate arrangements for granting credit facilities to farmers?

Mr. W. S. Morrison

I regret that the information asked for by my hon. Friend is not available. As regards the second part of the question, I would refer to the reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for Evesham (Mr. De la Bère) on 1st November.
