HC Deb 13 July 1950 vol 477 c1546
50. Mr. Perkins

asked the Minister of Agriculture the total number of petrol-driven machines used for agricultural operations at the last convenient date, eligible for grants under the Agriculture (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill.

The Minister of Agriculture (Mr. Thomas Williams)

Until the details of the scheme to be made under Clause 1 of the Bill have been determined, I cannot state the number of petrol-driven machines which will be eligible for grants, but it is likely to be of the order of 400,000 or 500,000.
