HC Deb 14 February 1949 vol 461 cc124-5W
Mr. Granville

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if, in view of the urgent necessity for providing increased working capital for the agricultural industry, he is prepared to assist individual farmers by extending to them a more generous allowance for the replacement of equipment and machinery upon an annual basis in order that the most modern equipment may be progressively available for increased food production.

Sir S. Cripps

I am afraid I cannot anticipate my Budget Statement.
