HC Deb 09 November 1944 vol 404 c1549W
Mr. Price

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether it is intended that the reconstituted Agricultural Improvement Council should meet more frequently than the former council; how often the new body has already met; and whether he can give any indication of its activities.

Mr. T. Williams

The reconstituted Agricultural Improvement Council for England and Wales, which has already met twice, will in future meet more frequently than its predecessor. I would, however, like to make it clear that the Council's work is largely carried out by Standing andad hoc Committees. The Council's activities have the widest possible range, and I am sending my hon. Friend a sample list of the subjects which are engaging their attention.
