HC Deb 01 April 1946 vol 421 cc824-5
59. Mr. Hurd

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he has arranged to import or have manufactured here the one-man hay balers which have proved their value in the U.S.A and Australia.

Mr. T. Williams

Arrangements are being made to import a few one-man pick-up balers from the United States for trial under British conditions this year with a view to possible manufacture here. One-man pick-up balers based on Continental models are already being produced in this country in limited numbers, and it is hoped that it will be possible to increase production substantially next year.
