HC Deb 29 January 1953 vol 510 c138W
64. Mr. Erroll

asked the Minister of Agriculture to give a list of individuals in Cheshire dispossessed of their agricultural units since the operation of the Agriculture Act, 1947, together with the acreage of land in each case, and the date of dispossession.

Mr. Nugent

Six farmers in Cheshire have been dispossessed for bad husbandry under the Agriculture Act, 1947. My right hon. Friend thinks it would not be fair to pillory these people by making public their names, but he is sending the list in confidence to my hon. Friend. The approximate acreages were nine, 17, 42, 59, 79 and 89. One farmer was dispossessed in 1950, three in 1951, and two in 1952.
