HC Deb 23 June 1924 vol 175 cc39-40
83. Mr. BLUNDELL

asked the Minister of Agriculture to which of the advisory agricultural economists farmers in Lancashire should apply to obtain assistance and advice in keeping their accounts?

The MINISTER of AGRICULTURE (Mr. Buxton)

The Ministry is at present discussing with the University of Manchester the best means of extending the provision of advice to farmers in Lancashire; the arrangements contemplated include advice in agricultural economics. These arrangements will, it is hoped, be in force at an early date. In the meantime farmers in Lancashire desiring assistance in agricultural economics or farm accounts should communicate with the Director of the Institute for Research in Rural Economics, Oxford.
