HC Deb 15 October 1940 vol 365 c617W
Mr. R. Gibson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he has considered the resolution passed by the Highland Development League on 4th September, 1940, a copy of which has been forwarded to him by the hon. Member for Greenock; whether he has any statement to make thereon; and what steps he proposes to take, in accordance with the resolution, to reconstitute the agricultural committees with a view to the energetic carrying out of the intention of the regulations?

Mr. E. Brown

The resolution is at present under consideration and a reply will be sent to the Highland Development League at an early date. I do not consider that there is any case for the reconstitution of the agricultural executive committees who are carrying out their duties energetically.
