HC Deb 04 December 1916 vol 88 cc619-20
47. Captain BATHURST

asked the Minister of Munitions if steps are being taken to permit the agricultural implement manufacturers in England and Wales, now engaged wholly or mainly in producing material for the Ministry, to make good the shortage of agricultural machinery and implements, with a view to the greater production of home-grown food in 1917?

The PARLIAMENTARY (MILITARY) SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of MUNITIONS (Mr. Primrose)

This question is now under consideration, and I hope to be in a position to make a statement in regard to it shortly.
