HC Deb 21 May 1942 vol 380 c398W
Mr. W. Brown

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether agricultural committees are instructed, in deciding whether a farmer should be ejected, to take into account the state of the farm when he took it over and the limitations of his capital; and whether he will see to it that farmers who have done their best within the limits of their time and finance are not dispossessed of their farms?

Mr. Hudson

All the circumstances of the case, including the previous condition of the farm, so far as it is known, and the occupier's financial limitations, are taken into account before it is decided that he must be dispossessed. In suitable cases financial assistance may be and is given.
