HC Deb 02 February 1948 vol 446 cc220-1W
72. Brigadier Peto

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is aware that dung forks are in short supply; and whether in their absence he is suggesting some other way of spreading manure efficiently.

Mr. T. Williams

Yes, I am aware that dung forks are scarce. Following recent consultations with the trade, my right hon. Friend the Minister of Supply has arranged that increased supplies will be made available and will be sent to areas where supplies are particularly short.
