HC Deb 18 May 1966 vol 728 cc251-2W
66. Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will make a statement on the First Report of the Committee on Smallholdings.

Mr. Peart

This interim report recommends fundamental changes in the policy for the provision of smallholdings by county councils. It is under detailed consideration in my Department with a view to early discussion with the organisations principally concerned.
