HC Deb 22 October 1945 vol 414 c1812W
Mr. Dye

asked the Minister of Agriculture on what date he proposes that the National Agricultural Advisory Service shall operate and thus remove the present uncertainties in the minds of the staffs of war agricultural executive committees.

Mr. T. Williams

I hope to be in a position to make a statement shortly about salary scales and conditions in the new Agricultural Advisory Service. Owing to the length of time which will inevitably be entailed in the selection of candidates for a service of this size and importance, it will not be possible for me to establish the National Agricultural Advisory Service until 1st October, 1946.
