HC Deb 22 December 1916 vol 88 c1850W
Mr. LUNDON

asked the President of the Board of Agriculture whether it is proposed that machinery, seeds, fertilisers, and manures should be given to farmers as free grants, or that any portion of the cost of machinery should be borne by the Government?

Sir R. WINFREY

The Board has come to no decision about grants, but whatever policy is adopted for the assistance of farmers will be announced at the earliest possible moment.
