§ Sir E. HUME-WILLIAMSasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will consider, in connection with the scheme of his Department for promoting agricultural combinations, the propriety of issuing to farmers a skeleton of such schemes as have been found successful and of sending to each county an official charged with the duty of giving advice and of aiding such farmers as wish to combine in putting their desires into practical operation?
§ Mr. BUXTONAs I informed the House in the statement I made on 28th February, I am considering the appointment of marketing officers to give advice and assistance to farmers in these matters, and the proposals I have under consideration include the publication of information as to forms of agricultural combination which have been found successful.
