HC Deb 15 June 1944 vol 400 c2146
48. Mr. Price

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of the fact that many second-rate pastures cannot be ploughed up and directly re-seeded with satisfactory results, he will consider advising new methods of dealing with this type of land, which will involve longer periods of cultivation before re-seeding.

Mr. Hudson

It is part of the duty of county war agricultural executive committees and their district committees and technical staffs to give advice of the nature indicated.
