§ Earl Wintertonasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that, despite his representations on the subject, more than one county road authority in the South of England is still employing a number of men to cut grass verges of roads and leaving the grass, some of which is of quality suitable for hay-making or ensilage, to rot; and whether he will at once, under the power conferred upon him, issue orders to the authorities in question, either to desist from this practice or cause the grass cut to be made into hay or ensilage?
