§ 44. Mr. de ROTHSCHILDasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will take immediate steps to urge the appointment of an agricultural organiser by the Isle of Ely County Council in order to secure that the results of scientific investigations at the agricultural research stations should be passed on to the Isle of Ely farmers and that the Isle of Ely may be no longer one of the few counties which derive no benefit from the setting up of these Government organisers?
§ The MINISTER of AGRICULTURE (Dr. Addison); The county council are well aware of my desire that they should appoint an agricultural organiser; my views on this subject were conveyed to the education committee as recently as 1364 last October. I do not think, therefore, that any useful purpose would be served by further representations to the local authority at present.
