HC Deb 12 November 1981 vol 12 c179W
43. Mr. Home Robertson

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on his policy toward proposals to restrict the security of tenure of tenant farmers in new leases in England and Wales.

Mr. Peter Walker

I have not yet completed my detailed consideration of the proposals put to me by the presidents of the National Farmers Union and the Country Landowners' Association which included suggestions for changes to the family succession provisions in the agricultural holdings legislation.
