HC Deb 11 April 1940 vol 359 c731W
Sir H. Morris-Jones

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will give an assurance that the Livestock Improvement Scheme will be continued, as in the last war, especially in Wales, where its discontinuance will have a deleterious effect on this important cattle-breeding branch of agriculture?

Sir R. Dorman-Smith

The decision to suspend the making of fresh grants under the Livestock Improvement Scheme was reached only after the fullest consideration, and I regret that I cannot see my way to withdraw the suspension.
