HC Deb 27 October 1949 vol 468 c171W
58. Sir W. Smithers

asked the Minister of Agriculture what steps he is taking to restore the 375,140 acres of land now under the control of county agricultural committees to British farmers and bring to an end the control of these acres under the committees and of his Department.

Mr. T. Williams

I am at present reviewing all lands in possession of county agricultural executive committees to decide when and whether they should be released and what lands should be purchased under Section 85 of the Agriculture Act, 1947.
