Under part III of the Agriculture Act 1967 Rural Development Boards in England and Wales were established. These were intended to develop the agricultural economies of under-developed (typically upland) parts of England and Wales by encouraging better land use (for example through farm amalgamations) and by assisting diversification into tourism or other businesses, so helping to counter rural depopulation and the loss of rural services. Always opposed by the opposition, the few existing Boards were wound up by the incoming Conservative administration in 1971.
