HC Deb 01 December 1949 vol 470 c113W
Sir W. Smithers

asked the Minister of Agriculture what steps he is taking to meet the criticism contained in the Eleventh Report from the Select Committee on Estimates.

Mr. T. Williams

The Eleventh Report from the Select Committee has received detailed examination in my Department and comments on the recommendations are being submitted to the Select Committee in the immediate future.

Sir W. Smithers

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he will require all county committees to submit the financial and crop result of each block of land they farm to a strict scrutiny so that a closer balance may in future be struck between food production and economy.

Mr. T. Williams

Instructions on these matters have already been issued to county agricultural executive committees.
