HC Deb 29 July 1946 vol 426 c80W
59. Mr. Dumpleton

asked the Minister of Agriculture what fresh steps are being taken, in view of the cut in feedingstuffs, to make available to farmers the thousands of acres of grass on aerodromes, road verges and railway embankments.

Mr. Collick

As regards grass on airfields, adequate arrangements are already made for its utilisation, so far as practicable, either by grazing or by cutting for drying, hay or silage. As regards road verges and railway embankments I would refer my hon. Friend to my right hon. Friend's reply on 1st July to the hon. Member for Salisbury (Mr. J. Morrison) and my hon. Friend the Member for Clitheroe (Mr. Randall).
