HC Deb 24 July 1952 vol 504 c736
14. Mr. Crouch

asked the Minister of Agriculture what has been the production of dried grass this season, as compared with last year at the same date.

Sir T. Dugdale

I have no exact returns of production of dried grass this season, but output so far is probably less than at the same date in 1951 owing to the dry weather.

Mr. G. Brown

Does the right hon. Gentleman consider that he is getting an adequate allowance of steel for the industry and does he agree that in the case of the grass-drying programme time is the important factor?
