HC Deb 27 March 1946 vol 421 c356
37. Mr. Baldwin

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether experiments have been made in any colony with two-wheeled tractors with which ploughing might be carried out, either on a communal basis, or by native contractors working for a group of farmers; and if not, whether the possibility will be examined.

Mr. georģe Hall

Tractors, of which some are two wheeled, are being used for ploughing in a number of Colonial territories. Their employment in native agriculture is being encouraged where practicable.
