HC Deb 01 April 1946 vol 421 c824
55. Major Wise

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he will examine the allocation of new combined harvesters to ensure that the Allis-Chalmers and similar suitable types are sent into the counties where the fields are smallest, and the larger types to the counties of large acreage.

Mr. T. Williams

Applicants finally selected by my Department for the allocation of combined harvesters are, wherever possible, offered the models of their choice, and I have no reason to doubt that these are most suitable to their needs. Where it is not possible to supply the machine applied for, the selected applicants are offered the most comparable model available.
