§ 63. Mr. Wyattasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food on what grounds he recommended to the National Research Development Corporation that financial support should not be given to the development of the Reading University automated tractor; and whether he will now reconsider his decision, in view of the fact that the Standard Telephone Company has obtained a considerable interest in it.
Mr. VaneMy right hon. Friend has made no recommendation to the National Research Development Corporation in this matter. I understand that the development of an automated tractor is proceeding with the active help of industry and that the Corporation is maintaining close contact with progress in case its services should be required.
