HC Deb 19 March 1975 vol 888 c417W
22. Mr. Golding

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what representations he has received to date in support of the abolition of the agricultural tied cottage; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Crosland:

I have received many representations. I am, together with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, working towards the legislation needed to abolish agricultural tied cottages, and I hope before long to begin consultations with interested bodies.
