§ MR. HEYWOOD JOHNSTONE (Sussex, Horsham)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture if he will make arrangements for specimens or lists of the leaflets issued by the Board to be kept at rural post offices, and for copies to be obtainable through the same source?
THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE (Mr. H. GARDNER,) Essex, Saffron WaldenI should be very glad if some such arrangement as that suggested by the hon. Member could be carried into effect, and my right hon. Friend (the Postmaster General) has informed me he will be pleased to cooperate with me in the matter. I am very anxious to secure for our leaflets as full publicity as possible.
MR. LOGAN (Leicester, Harborough)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture if he will extend to Members of this House, who desire to distribute the publications of the Board of Agriculture, the privileges now confined to Agricultural Societies, Village Institutes, and similar bodies?
MR. H. GARDNERI should be very glad, if it were possible, to extend the privileges to which my hon. Friend refers to Members of Parliament and other persons willing to purchase our publications for gratuitous distribution, and I will bring the suggestion under the notice of the Treasury, with whom the decision in the matter would rest.
