HC Deb 09 March 1911 vol 22 c1751W
Mr. WEIGALL

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Agriculture, what sum is annually available to the Board for the purposes of scientific agricultural research?

Sir E. STRACHEY

It is impossible to mention any precise sum, inasmuch as the money expended, or granted by the Board for scientific research work varies each year. A sum of £1,200 was provided for inquiries, experiments, etc., in the Board's Vote for 1910–11, and a similar sum for grants for experiments and research by institutions and societies.
