HC Deb 07 May 1941 vol 371 c863W
Mr. Pearson

asked the Minister of Agriculture the number of farmers in Glamorganshire and Monmouthshire, respectively, given notice to quit by the county war executive committees, who would not or could not make proper use of their land?

Mr. Hudson

In the cases of 10 farmers in Glamorgan and six in Monmouth my consent has been given to the War Agricultural Executive Committees taking possession of their land, these figures including occupying owners as well as tenants. In addition, my consent has been given to the termination of the tenancies of nine farms in Glamorgan without possession being taken of the land, arrangements for the proper cultivation in future having been made by the owners with the approval of the executive committee.
