§ Mr. Skeffington-Lodgeasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is aware of the difficulty experienced by individual farmers in Bedfordshire in obtaining Cockshutt plough breasts; and whether he will make a statement about 10W the prospect of purchasing these spares as they are needed.
§ Mr. G. BrownNo, but if my hon. Friend will let me have particulars of any such cases, I will gladly have inquiries made. Out of seven different types of breast that are fitted to the Canadian Cockshutt ploughs used in this country, six are available—five from stock and one from a consignment that has just arrived from Canada; the seventh is only used to a very small extent, mainly in the North of England.
