HC Deb 29 April 1963 vol 676 c59W
51. Mr. Ridley

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether grants can now be obtained under the Farm Improvement Scheme towards the cost of Harvestore silos for the storage of grain.

Mr. Soames

Grant may be paid under the Farm Improvement Scheme towards the cost of erecting a silo for the storage of dried grain. As yet we do not allow grant for the storage of undried grain as this is a technique of storage which has not yet been adequately tested and found satisfactory in this country. Experiments are being carried out and according to the results of these we shall take a decision on whether to make grant available.
