HC Deb 01 December 1949 vol 470 cc112-3W
Sir W. Smithers

asked the Minister of Agriculture if, in view of the fact that in 1947–48 the average loss on lands in possession of county committees was £6 per acre and in some counties it was £12 to £20 per acre farmed, he will now do away with the county committees.

Mr. T. Williams

No.

Sir W. Smithers

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he will publicly instruct the county committees to offer all land in their possession for lease to individual farmers.

Mr. T. Williams

Committees already have instructions to let land in their possession wherever practicable.
