HC Deb 19 December 1947 vol 445 c437W
Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the Minister of Agriculture, in all cases of dispossession or termination of tenancy by his Department, what precautions are taken to see that no relative of any member of the county agricultural committee is put in possession of the farm or holding.

Mr. T. Williams

It is an instruction that in such a case no member of a county war agricultural executive committee or district committee should be put in possession of the holding by the committee except with the approval of my Department. It is, I think, generally appreciated by committees that the instruction ought properly to apply also to close relatives of members.
