asked the Minister of Agriculture what arrangements he is making for the provision of the £200,000,000 which he estimates will require to be invested in agriculture in this country after the war; and if he proposes to use the new finance corporations or a separate agricultural finance corporation.

Mr. Hudson:

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given by the Chancellor of the Exchequer to the hon. Member for Eye (Mr. Granville) on 13th March last.

Is the Minister aware that that reply gave no information whatever, and that that is exactly why this Question is on the Order Paper?

Mr. Hudson:

I think that my reply is as far as I can go.
