§ 43. Mr. C. BATHURSTasked the Secretary for Scotland whether the Scottish Board of Agriculture proposes to issue separate leaflets on the subjects about which leaflets are issued by the English Board or whether, by arrangement with the latter and to avoid unnecessary expense, the same leaflets will be issued by the two Boards; and (44) whether the the Scottish Board of Agriculture proposes to conduct research into animal diseases, the pathology of plants, Mendelism, and other matters of equal interest and importance to agriculturists in both countries, when such research has been or is being carried on in England or Wales by or at the request of the English Board or whether the Scottish Board will only initiate research in matters affecting Scotland solely or in a special degree?
The SECRETARY for SCOTLAND (Mr. McKinnon Wood)Arrangements have already been made by which copies of leaflets issued by the English Board are made available to the Scottish Board for 3154 distribution in Scotland. The two Boards are in consultation in regard to coordinating their action in the other matter referred to by the hon. Member; but it is not as yet possible to make any definite statement.
