§ Mr. BRIDGEMANasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if his proposals for establishing experimental farms, improving live stock, and conducting agricultural research will require legislation affecting the Board of Agriculture; and what sums are allotted during the financial year for each of these new services?
§ Mr. LLOYD-GEORGEAs I have already explained to the hon. Member for the East Riding of Yorkshire separate legislation will be required in connection with the proposals which I outlined to the House on Thursday last. When such legislation is introduced I shall be glad to give all possible details.
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANWill that be immediately?
§ Mr. LLOYD-GEORGEI should hope soon after we get the Resolutions out of the way.
§ Lord ROBERT CECILIn any case will it be before the second reading of the Budget Bill?
§ Mr. LLOYD-GEORGEPerhaps the hon. Gentleman will put that question to the Prime Minister. It is a question which deals rather with the business of the House.
