HC Deb 18 June 1965 vol 714 c121W
Mr. Bessell

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what results have been obtained from his proposals for encouraging the amalgamation of small farms; and what acreage he regards as a viable agricultural unit.

Mr. Hoy

We are now completing our inquiries into the best way of encouraging the voluntary amalgamation of farms and will announce our proposals, including the size of farm to be eligible, as soon as they are ready.
