§ 49. Mr. Osborneasked the Minister of Agriculture if he will investigate the holdup in deliveries of Fordson tractor power-lifts in North Lancashire; and if he will expedite deliveries in readiness for the pea and root-crop harvesting.
§ Mr. T. WilliamsThe power-lift is not fitted as standard equipment, and the demand has greatly exceeded expectations. For this reason, and because of material shortages and other production difficulties, delivery has fallen behind. I understand, however, that output is steadily increasing and the Ford Motor Company hope to deliver a considerable number during the next few months.
