§ 69. Mr. G. R. Howardasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will hold discussions to review in the light of experience the operation of Part II of the Agriculture Act, 1947, and the Agricultural Holdings Act, 1948.
Mr. AmoryYes. I have had these matters under consideration for some time. The Wilson Committee also reported that they had met with a variety of conflicting opinions on the operation of these provisions. I hope that discussions with the organisations concerned, which must inevitably take some time, will start within the next few weeks. My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Scotland is proposing similar discussions in Scotland.
