§ Sir E. Graham-Littleasked the Minister of Agriculture if he is aware that the tenants installed by the Buckinghamshire A.E.C. in the property of Mr. Peach, Newport Pagnell, who was dispossessed by that committee, have dismantled, removed and sold a poultry house erected by him in 1938 and destroyed valuable fruit trees on the property during their tenancy; and whether his approval was obtained to the reply from the A.E.C. justifying their action in these respects.
§ Mr. T. WilliamsI understand that a portable poultry house in a very poor condition was removed from this property without the authority of the occupiers, but that they have agreed to its value being taken into account in the financial settlement when their contract for occupation is determined. The position is, therefore, as stated in the committee's reply. As regards the destruction of fruit trees, my inquiries are not yet complete but I will write to the hon. Member as soon as possible.
