HC Deb 07 February 1957 vol 564 cc77-8W
79. Mr. Willey

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, as representing the Lord President of the Council, what action he is taking to promote research into the design and reconstruction of farm buildings.

Mr. Amory

The Agricultural Research Council are at present giving this matter close attention. In consultation with my own Department and the Department of Agriculture for Scotland, they are setting up a Committee, consisting mainly of persons with technical qualifications, to co-ordinate the work already in progress at various research centres and to recommend further new lines of investigation. It is hoped that this Committee will hold its first meeting early next month.
