HC Deb 27 October 1949 vol 468 c169W
50. Mr. W. Roberts

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will extend the subsidy for ploughing up grassland to cover grassland ploughed for crops to be grown in 1950.

Mr. T. Williams

Grassland ploughed for 1950 crops before 31st December next will attract grant on the usual conditions. The date on which this subsidy ends is fixed by Statute and I have no power to extend it.
