HC Deb 30 March 1950 vol 473 cc54-5W
58. Mr. Turton

asked the Minister of Agriculture from what date the proposed extension of the marginal production scheme for the purpose of assisting producers in the purchase of feedingstuffs will operate; what is the maximum amount of assistance that will be granted to any one applicant; and what conditions it will be necessary for the applicant to satisfy before he can qualify for this grant.

Mr. T. Williams

The proposals for extending the scheme will involve the making of a new Statutory Instrument which will be laid before Parliament and come into operation as soon as possible. I am not at present able to add anything further to the statement I made on 23rd March.
