Hill Cattle Subsidy

HC Deb 21 June 1949 vol 466 cc3-4W

32. Mr. Snadden

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether application forms for hill cattle subsidy are now ready for issue; and what is the closing date for receipt of applications.

Mr. Woodburn

Application forms were sent out on 18th May to those who submitted a valid application for subsidy in 1948. Notices calling attention to this fact were issued to the Press on the same date. Intending applicants who did not receive a form by 21st May were advised in the notices to write to the Department of Agriculture, 21, Semple Street, Edinburgh, and ask for a form without delay. I cannot stress too strongly that in terms of the scheme completed applications must reach the Department at that address not later than 30th June. 1949.
