HC Deb 13 November 1952 vol 507 c78W
83. Sir J. Crowder

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he proposes to continue to enable certain persons, under the Agricultural Goods and Services (Marginal Production) Scheme, to obtain goods and services at half-price, in view of the fact that this scheme is now costing £500,000 a year.

Sir T. Dugdale

Yes. This scheme is helping farmers to bring into fuller production poor and difficult land and is thus a valuable part of the drive to increase food production at home.
