§ 19. Mr. MacGregorasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make it his policy not to introduce measures which would add to the costs of agricultural land.
§ Mr. StrangI see no reason to believe that this Government's measures will raise agricultural land prices significantly. The hon. Member will be aware that these are now considerably below the peak of two years ago.
§ 25. Mr. Lawrenceasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he has considered plans for the nationalisation of farmland.
§ Mr. PeartI refer the hon. Member to the reply that I gave to the hon. Member for Devizes (Mr. Morrison) on 26th February.—[Vol. 906, c.294.] I have no proposals for the nationalisation of farmland.
