• Oral Answers to Questions — Royal Navy: Greenwich Hospital (Water Supply Scheme) 18 Apr 1951

  Is the hon. Gentleman aware that these negotiations have been going on for a very long time and that the dog-in-the-manger attitude of Greenwich Hospital has already caused grave hardship to the people of Alston-with-Garrigill? Can he promise us today that the negotiation will be brought to a satisfactory conclusion within, say, four weeks?

• Clause 1. — (Extension of Class of Land for Improvement of Which Grants May Be Made Under the Principal Act.) 6 Feb 1951

  There are a great many farms in Cumberland which fit into this argument very well indeed. There are farms where there are dual-purposes shorthorns reared primarily to supply heifers to lowland dairy farmers, where the cows are sold as stores and where little, if any, milk is sold off the holding. They are a most wonderful reservoir of the dual-purpose animal.
