HC Deb 17 March 1932 vol 263 c455
56. Colonel CLIFTON BROWN

asked the Minister of Agriculture if drainage grants for moorland farms are to be again continued for England?

The MINISTER of AGRICULTURE (Sir John Gilmour)

I regret that it has been necessary to discontinue these grants on grounds of economy.

Colonel BROWN

Then, may I ask why are those grants being continued in Scotland?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I am not concerned with that matter.

Colonel BROWN

Am I to understand that Englishmen are to go without and that Scotsmen are to receive the grants?
