§ Captain WRIGHTasked the President of the Board of Agriculture whether he is aware that much of the grass land to be broken up under the Government scheme for increased arable is unsuitable for tractor ploughing and must be ploughed by horse teams; whether he is aware of the difficulty of obtaining and having repaired harness for agricultural purposes; and what provision has been made that the harness required for carrying out the Government scheme may be available as and when wanted?
§ Sir R. WINFREYThe necessity for j using a large number of horses is fully recognised. Arrangements have been ! made for the harness and implements: necessary, and it is anticipated that these will be available as and when the horses are obtained.
