HC Deb 11 July 1955 vol 543 c131W
2. Mr. Bartley

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power what further consideration he has given the question of implementing the Turner Committee recommendations in regard to agricultural land.

Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

I do not consider there are sufficiently strong grounds for transferring the ownership of agricultural land from the National Coal Board to a Government authority, and as to the second part of the Committee's recommendations I have nothing to add to the reply given by my hon. Friend to the hon. Member on 22nd November, 1954.
