REPLY TO INEFFICIENCY Rec. 9 p.m. LONDON, May 27. ’ Bad farmers in Britain are to lose their homes. Mr Tom Williams, Minister of Agriculture, told a farm workers’ conference in Yorkshire: “ Farmers who fail to live up to their proper obligations will lose their farms and their houses without any offer of somewhere else to live.” Afterwards he said that 28 farmers had been dispossessed in two years. He added: “ With the solid backing and security which the Government has given the farmers we are unable to tolerate gross inefficiency.”
