HC Deb 15 May 1953 vol 515 c93W
Mr. Baker

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he will abolish the means test to farmers requiring the marginal land grant, and make it available to every farmer, whatever his resources and other lands, who wishes to clear and make productive marginal land.

Sir T. Dugdale

I am considering amending the present test under the marginal production scheme so as to make grants more generally available for the reclamation and improvement of marginal land.
