Mr. Strang

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what representations he has received about the working of the Rent (Agriculture) Act; and if he is satisfied that it is working in the interests of the agriculture industry.

Mr. Wiggin

We have received few representations about the working of the Rent (Agriculture) Act, which appears not to be currently causing any problems to the agriculture industry.
