§ Mr. O'Brienasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what is the extent of the U.N.R.R.A. agricultural programme; whether it is solely advisory; and what practical aid is being rendered in the form of supplies of fertilisers, stock, and so forth.
Mr. McNeilI am informed that by the end of 1946, U.N.R.R.A. will have spent approximately £75 million on agricultural rehabilitation supplies for those countries which are in receipt of U.N.R.R.A. assistance. These supplies include fertilisers, seeds, farm machinery, livestock, pesticides and other agricultural requirements. In addition, an agricultural advisory service is furnished by specialists who are attached to the various U.N.R.U.N.R.R.A. missions.
