§ 154. Mr. Hoggasked the Minister of Agriculture when a reply may be expected to the application by Mrs. L. B. Stopp forwarded to him by the hon. Member for the City of Oxford on 30th October, 1947.
§ Mr. G. BrownI trust that the hon. Member has now received the reply to his letter, which was sent on 11th December last. The delay, for which I apologise, arose mainly from the necessity to make detailed local inquiries.
