§ 48. Sir G. Foxasked the Minister of Agriculture why fanners with threshing machinery are precluded from using it on neighbouring farms; and when the present restrictions will be removed to enable farmers possessing such tackle to help their neighbours.
§ Mr. CollickFarmers are not prevented from using their threshing machinery to give occasional help to their neighbours. If, however, the extent of the work done for others brings the farmers within the-scope of the Agricultural Contractors (Registration and Control) Orders, 1940, they are required to register with the County War Agricultural Executive Committee and to comply with such directions, if any, as the committee may give them in common with other threshing contractors in the county.
