§ Mr. John MackieUnder the provisions of the Agriculture Bill now before the House self-propelled combine harvesters which are licensed can qualify for the new 10 per cent. investment grants which replace the former investment allowances, now discontinued; while fixed grain driers and storage on full-time farms can qualify for the 5 per cent. supplement as well as the 25 per cent. grant under the Farm Improvement Scheme, or for the 10 per cent. investment grant as appropriate. The new arrangements for agriculture were agreed with the industry.
