HC Deb 19 May 1947 vol 437 cc203-4W
Mr. Baker White

asked the Minister of Agriculture the extent to which the output of agricultural machinery was interrupted by the February coal crisis.

Mr. T. Williams

The estimated average value of the output of agricultural machinery fell from £116,000 a day in January, 1947, to £90,000 a day in February. It is not possible to say whether the whole of this reduction was due to fuel difficulties.
