HC Deb 18 October 1916 vol 86 cc576-7W
Mr. MOLTENO

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Agriculture whether, in view of the desirability of greater agricultural production, he will have a Report prepared by the Board of Agriculture upon the recent development of Danish agriculture on similar lines to the Report on German agriculture recently prepared and published by the Board?

Mr. ACLAND

I wish that it were possible to do what my hon. Friend suggests, but the strain of work upon the Board's officials unfortunately prevents it. I find that the German report was produced only as the result of much Sunday work, and that even Sundays are not now available. A good deal of information about Danish agricultural conditions is, however, already published in convenient form.
