§ 80. Sir W. Darlingasked the Minister of Agriculture why he is spending £1,328,000 this year as compared with £1,264,000 last year on the upkeep of farming operations conducted by land settlement associations.
§ Sir T. DugdaleThe estimated increase in the expenditure of the land settlement associations arises from increased production and a larger number of tenants, both of which involve the provision of more goods and services. The additional expenditure is, however, more than offset by the expected increase in receipts and it is estimated that receipts will exceed expenditure in 1952–53.
