asked the Secretary of State for Wales what representations he has received from agricultural organisations in Wales concerning legislation on tied cottages.

The only representations I have received consisted of an expression of concern about the Government's intentions for future legislation on tied cottages. This was included in a joint memorandum covering a number of matters which was submitted by the South Wales Regional Chairman of the Timber Growers' Association together with the Chairmen of the Glamorgan branches of the Country Landowners' Association and the Farmers' Union of Wales.I would also refer the hon. Member to the reply given by my right hon. Friend the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food to the hon. Member for Blaby (Mr. Lawson) on 23rd January 1975.—[Vol. 884, c. 1718–1719.]
