§ Mr. Emrys Robertsasked the Minister of Agriculture the annual estimated cost of the new National Agricultural Advisory Committee.
§ Mr. T. WilliamsThe cost of the National Agricultural Advisory Service for its first year's working is estimated at £1½ million. Much of this expenditure represents provision for advisory work which has hitherto been carried out by the University departments, agricultural colleges and local education authorities, the responsibility for which has now been taken over by the new Service.
