HC Deb 08 March 1951 vol 485 c75W
63. Mr. Gammans

asked the Minister of Agriculture what was the cost to the Exchequer in 1949 and 1950, respectively, of the county agricultural executive committees.

Mr. T. Williams

It is not practicable to give figures for calendar years, but for the last two complete financial years, i.e., 1948–49 and 1949–50 the net expenditure connected with the operation of trading services by county agricultural executive committees, together with costs of administration, was £13,895,000 and £5,300,000 respectively.
