HC Deb 05 December 1938 vol 342 c885W
Captain Plugge

asked the Minister of Agriculture what decision he has arrived at in connection with the representations that the land fertility scheme subsidy should be extended to include super-phosphates as well as basic slag?

Mr. W. S. Morrison

The reasons for limiting the Land Fertility Scheme to lime and basic slag were debated during the passage of the Agriculture Bill. I am not aware of any recent representations in the sense indicated by my hon. and gallant Friend; but in any case the circumstances are not, in my opinion, such as to justify asking Parliament to consider legislation to extend the scheme to include superphosphate.
