Farm Buildings (Report)

HC Deb 15 October 1945 vol 414 cc687-8

54. Mr. York

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether the Report on Farm Buildings is ready for publication; and what is his intention in regard to the Report.

The Minister of Agriculture (Mr. Tom Williams)

It is expected that printed copies of the Report will be available in a few weeks' time. I would prefer to defer any statement as to my intentions regarding the report until it has been published.

Mr. York

Did I understand the right hon. Gentleman to say that this report is now being printed?

Mr. Williams

Yes, Sir.

Sir William Darling

Is the Minister aware that paper has been made available for a most interesting report published in the "Soviet News" about the construction of farm buildings in Russia? Is there any reason why paper should not be made available in connection with the construction of farm buildings in this country?

Mr. Williams

I understand that paper has not only been made available but that the report is being printed in Edinburgh.
