HC Deb 30 June 1949 vol 466 cc107-8W
52. Colonel Ropner

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is satisfied that farmers will be able to obtain adequate supplies of sacks for use with combine harvesters this year.

Mr. T. Williams

To ensure that adequate supplies of sacks are obtainable for use with combine harvesters, my Department has again circularised all known owners of combines offering them two-bushel hessian sacks to supplement the supply of the four-bushel sacks which are obtained on hire from the Railways and the usual sack hire firms.
