§ 108. Major Anstruther-Grayasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many acres of grassland have been ploughed and cropped for this year's harvest in Scotland, following the announcement in February of the £5 an acre ploughing grant; and how this compares with the original forecast.
§ Mr. J. StuartThe original forecast of the acreage that would be ploughed in Scotland under the scheme was 200,000 acres. Preliminary intimations received from farmers of intentions to submit claims suggest that the final acreage eligible for grant will be around this figure.
