HC Deb 26 June 1952 vol 502 cc203-4W
67. Mr. Hurd

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he has now settled the terms of the subsidy to be paid to farmers who rear calves for beef production.

Sir T. Dugdale

No, but I hope to do so very soon.

68. Sir L. Plummer

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether colour-marked crossbred calves, sired by bulls of recognised beef-type breeds, will qualify for the proposed calf-rearing subsidy he proposes to introduce.

Sir T. Dugdale

As I told the hon. Member on 12th June, I will make an announcement as soon as a scheme has been worked out in consultation with the National Farmers' Unions. I do not want to anticipate that announcement.
