HC Deb 17 June 1937 vol 325 cc583-4W
Mr. Henderson Stewart

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he is aware that many orders for lime have been cancelled and others deferred following upon the announcement of a Government grant for liming; and whether, in order to bring about the minimum interference with trade, he will make an early announcement fixing the date at which the grant will take effect?

Mr. W. S. Morrison

It is my intention, with the co-operation of all interests concerned, to bring the lime and basic slag scheme into operation as soon as possible after the necessary legislation has been approved by Parliament. The legislation will be introduced at a very early date.
