§ Mr. Grovesasked the Minister of Agriculture, how many farmers have taken advantage of the Government's scheme of assistance of £2 per acre for ploughing; and whether he is satisfied with the response to the offer?
Mr. HudsonAbout 200,000 payments have been made to date, but it would not be possible, without a good deal of detailed investigation, to state the number of fanners concerned. As to the last part of the Question, I am well satisfied with the farmers' response.
