§ Mr. R. Gibsonasked 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. BrownThe 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.
