HC Deb 03 May 1974 vol 872 cc313-4W
Mr. John Ellis

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he has received representations on the tied cottage issue from the National Union of Agricultural Workers; and, if so, what reply he has sent.

Mr. Freeson

The National Union of Agricultural and Allied Workers has written to me about this. In reply I told the union that my right hon. Friend the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and I were in touch on this matter and would invite the union to discussions when we have decided on a possible approach to the problem.
