HC Deb 14 October 1946 vol 427 c111W
71. Lieut.-Colonel Corbett

asked the Minister of Agriculture the amount paid annually by farmers to the banks as interest on overdraft and to the Agricultural Mortgage Corporation as loan charges, respectively.

Mr. T. Williams

No figures are available for farmers' interest payments to banks. The accounts of the Agricultural Mortgage Corporation show a receipt of £311,000 in 1945–6 from interest on mortgage and improvement loans; the recipients of these loans include both farmer owner-occupiers and other agricultural landowners.
