§ Sir E. Graham-Littleasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will investigate the facts set out in the particulars already supplied him, showing that fruit crops on property requisitioned to the Bucks A.E.C. are being taken away by the late tenant of the committee, who was installed by them, and by an official; and whether he will take appropriate action.
§ Mr. T. WilliamsI have investigated the statements made in the particulars supplied to me. No fruit has been taken away by either the late tenant or an official of the Committee without payment. A total of 80 lb. of strawberries of poor quality and condition have been sold off the land, the majority to villagers. Some of the strawberries were purchased at the same price by the late tenant and by the official referred to. I do not consider any further action is necessary.
