Major Tufton Beamish
asked the Minister of Agriculture what demands he has received from bodies representative of agricultural interests that the land should be nationalised in accordance with long-standing promises; and what detailed consideration he has given to this question.
The Minister of Agriculture
(Mr. Thomas Williams)
