HC Deb 07 July 1947 vol 439 cc191-2W
51. Mr. Drayson

asked the Minister of Agriculture if a procedure has yet been devised for making and considering claims for compensation in respect of grassland compulsorily ploughed up, as envisaged in leaflet No. W.A.C. 1510, issued by his Department in December, 1939.

Mr. T. Williams

In the present food situation, it would not be desirable to take any step which might hasten the laying back to permanent grass of farm pastures which have been compulsorily ploughed up. I do not, therefore, propose for the present to set up machinery for making and considering claims for their restoration.
