asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is satisfied that material and other facilities are available to enable landowners and farmers to make progress with the improvement of fixed equipment demanded by his programme of increased agricultural production.

Yes, Sir.

In view of the fact that there is to be a capital levy which will make it very difficult for landowners to provide capital equipment, will the Minister consider making representations to the Chancellor of the Exchequer whereby owners of land who plough back the capital levy into capital equipment will be given a remission on that account?

I do not accept the original assumption upon which the hon. Member based his question.
