HC Deb 06 April 1914 vol 60 c1590
7. Mr. STANIER

asked the President of the Board of Agriculture whether the Leeds University has received the three years' grant from the Board to enable them to complete the Report on the investigation into the injury done by smoke nuisance to crops; and if the university has been able to produce enough information to now issue a Report?

The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of AGRICULTURE (Mr. Runciman)

The grant sanctioned in respect of the third year's work has not yet been paid. A report is in course of preparation.

Mr. STANIER

Is the third year's grant going to be paid?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

The third year's grant will be paid, but I am afraid it will be the last.
