HC Deb 28 July 1930 vol 242 c25
38. Mr. EDE

asked the Minister of Agriculture how many agricultural education committees have submitted during the past 12 months enlarged schemes of agricultural education for their areas; how many such schemes have been improved; and how many county agricultural committees have not yet submitted enlarged schemes?

Mr. PARKINSON

51 counties have submitted schemes for an extension of agricultural education in their respective areas, all of which have been approved either as submitted or in some modified form. Two counties have enlarged schemes under consideration which have not yet been submitted to the Ministry. Six authorities have neither submitted schemes for development, nor (so far as the Ministry is aware) have at present any such schemes under consideration.
