HC Deb 29 February 1940 vol 357 cc2279-80W
Lieut.-Colonel Acland-Troyte

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will cause applications for the £2 subsidy for ploughing up grass-land to be sent direct to county war agricultural committees instead of having them passed through his Department, thereby saving considerable time and expense?

Sir R. Dorman-Smith

I am obliged to my hon. and gallant Friend for his suggestion. I will gladly arrange for this procedure to be adopted in any county where the war agricultural executive committee desires to adopt it.
