HC Deb 02 July 1956 vol 555 c81W
Captain Kerby

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will give an assurance that when selecting a tenant for Horeham Manor Farm, Sussex, he will fulfil his obligations under Part I of the Agriculture Act, 1947, to ensure an adequate return on capital invested in the industry.

Mr. Amory

The Government's obligations under Part I of the Agriculture Act, 1947, are in respect of the industry as a whole. Selection of the tenant for this farm is in the first instance a matter for the owner, subject to my approval.
