§ Mr. Jacksonasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will extend the £2 per acre grant for ploughing to 30th April, in view of the fact that most fanners are much behindhand with their ploughing owing to the weather?
§ Sir R. Dorman-SmithI fully recognise that weather conditions have interfered seriously with ploughing operations. I propose to review the position in a few weeks' time in the light of conditions. I hope, however, that all farmers will do their utmost to overcome arrears.
