HC Deb 23 October 1952 vol 505 c141W
93. Mr. Hurd

asked the Minister of Agriculture to what extent there are vacant places at the farm institutes in England and Wales; and if he expects that these training facilities will be fully used next year.

Sir T. Dugdale

There are at present about 390 places vacant out of a total of about 1,930. While I am most anxious that farm institute facilities should be fully used, I cannot forecast what may happen next year.
