§ 56. Mr. Goochasked the hon. Member for the Park Division of Sheffield, as representing the Church Commissioners, if the 600 agricultural cottages which the Commissioners propose to build on their estates in the North, Midland and Western areas will be let direct to farm workers on the basis of a tenancy and thus give security of tenure to the occupants of the cottages.
§ Mr. BurdenThe cottages which the Commissioners desire to provide on the estates referred to are intended to complete the equipment of their farms and the full agricultural productivity of those estates. The Commissioners intend to give tenants all the security possible consistent with the public interest; how they may best do this will be a matter for their consideration when the cottages are approaching completion.
