§ 44. Mr. NEEDHAMasked the President of the Board of Agriculture whether he is about to alter the policy of the Board in giving Grants for agricultural research hitherto made in accord with White Paper A 220/1, September, 1911; and what are the reasons for such alteration of policy?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of AGRICULTURE (Sir R. Winfrey)No change in the policy outlined in the Memorandum of September, 1911, is contemplated; the decision to transfer the plant pathology work to a new institute at Rothamsted being, in the Board's view, quite in accordance with that policy.
