HC Deb 13 June 1911 vol 26 c1447
Mr. BRIDGEMAN

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much was spent last year out of the Exchequer upon agriculture, and what proportions of that amount were spent in salaries of officials in research and on development, respectively, and how much in the creation of small holdings; and if he can give the total amounts spent by the State on agriculture in France, Germany, and Denmark?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I fear it would hardly be possible to determine accurately among the many categories of national expenditure connected more or less directly with agriculture what items can be classed specifically as expenditure on agriculture.
