HC Deb 17 February 1938 vol 331 c2107W
Sir A. Wilson

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, as representing the Lord President of the Council, whether he is aware that the Agricultural Research Council has issued no report on its proceedings for any period since September, 1935; and whether and, if so, when a further report may be expected?

Earl Winterton

Shortly after the constitution of the Agricultural Research Council it was decided that, having regard to the content of other Government publications dealing with agricultural research, the report of the Council could most usefully take the form of a critical review of research in progress, to be published at intervals of two years. The Report of the Council for the two years ending the 30th September, 1937, is in the Press.
