On 5 November 1907, the Organisational Committee of the Central Chamber of Agriculture produced a report that concluded that they were "strongly of opinion that the value of such a party as that proposed depends far more on its absolute independence and singleness of aim than on its numerical strength, and recommend that the efforts to establish it shall at first be concentrated on those constituencies whence it would be possible to secure a thoroughly compact and reliable body.
"[2] Jesse Collings supported the report, as in his opinion Parliament was dominated by commercialism and without organisation the representation of agriculture was useless.
However, the succeeding years the resolution was all but forgotten as members of the Central Chamber of Agriculture turned their attention to national political happenings.
[2] In October 1923, the idea of an agricultural or rural political party was revived by the prominent agriculturalist Christopher Hatton Turnor[4] at a meeting of the Grantham Farmers' Union.
[7] It was announced that the trustees of the party would be Christopher Hatton Turnor and Colonel C. H. Hoare, a member of a well known banking family.
