§ Mr. Spenceasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is his estimate of the effect of the abolition of service tenancy in agriculture on livestock farmers' costs of production, on the production costs of farmers in other specialities also dependent upon having houses for key workers on their farms, and upon consumer prices; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. StrangThe effect, if any, upon production costs would depend partly upon how abolition is achieved, and we hope shortly to enter into consultations on this; and partly upon the individual 595W and doubtless differing circumstances on the farms concerned.
