§ 30. Mrs. Hartasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many farmers in the Parliamentary constituency of Lanark have applied for, and received, grants under the provisions of the Small Farmers Act; and what has been the total expenditure as a result.
§ Mr. LeburnNone of the seven small farmers in the Parliamentary constituency of Lanark who have had farm business plans approved under the provisions of the Small Farmers (Scotland) Scheme, 1959, has so far applied for an instalment of grant.
§ Mrs. HartWill the Under-Secretary of State undertake to give further publicity to the facilities which are available so that his Government can fulfil the promise which they have made to give assistance to this body of farmers?
§ Mr. LeburnI think that agriculture generally and small farmers in particular well know of the existence of this Scheme.
