HC Deb 27 July 1925 vol 187 c45W
Sir W. de FRECE

asked the Minister or Agriculture the number of cases in which he has altered the percentage of 25 per cent. allowed to factories constructed since the passing of the Subsidy (Sugar Beet) Act in respect of the purchases of foreign machinery and the number of applications made to him for such variation: and whether firms can include beet-pulping knives for replacement as machinery coming under this percentage allowance?

Mr. WOOD

Except in the case of the three factories referred to in my reply on 15th June to my hon. Friend, no further dispensations have been made and no applications for dispensation received. The answer to the last part of the question is in the affirmative.
