§ Mr. Priorasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what consideration he has given to the setting up of an advisory committee for matters relevant to the agricultural lime industry.
§ Mr. SoamesThe Agricultural Lime Producers Council have proposed such a committee in connection with the administration of the new Agricultural Lime Scheme which I shall be laying before the House tomorrow. Whilst I do not consider it necessary to establish a formal committee, the Council have been informed that if all the parties concerned with the administration of the Scheme—producers, merchants and farmers—would like to supplement the present arrangements for consultation with joint meetings with the Agricultural Departments from time to time to discuss problems arising 85W from the administration of the scheme, I should be glad to arrange such meetings under the chairmanship of a senior official.
