asked the Minister of Agriculture whether it is intended to continue, after July next, the facilities provided under the Land Fertility Scheme for the purchase by farmers, and others, of lime and basic slag at reduced prices?

Sir R. Dorman-Smith

Yes, Sir. It is proposed to make an order postponing the prescribed date under Section 1 (3) of the Agriculture Act, 1937, namely 31st July 1940, for the period of one year. The necessary Order will be made and brought before Parliament for confirmation shortly.
