§ 65. Sir A. HOLBROOKasked the Minister of Agriculture whether, as agricultural land in most parts of this country is much in need of lime, he will consider the possibility of a scheme whereby the services of some of the unemployed might be utilised for conveying lime to districts where it is most urgently required for purposes of arable cultivation?
§ Mr. GUINNESSWhile I agree that much agricultural land would benefit by proper liming, I am not clear what kind of scheme my hon. and gallant Friend has in mind; but I do not think that any practical scheme of lime supply could be devised which would have a material bearing on the problem of urban unemployment.
