HC Deb 01 July 1943 vol 390 cc1783-4
59. Mr. Butcher

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is satisfied that a sufficient supply of binders and combine harvesters will be available for this year's harvest?

Mr. Hudson

There will be a considerable increase in the number of binders and combine harvesters available to deal with the additional acreage to be harvested this year, and I believe that we shall have enough.

Mr. Butcher

Does my right hon. Friend appreciate that a binder on a farm is worth more than one in the country?

Mr. Hudson

It is also worth more than on the other side of the Atlantic.
