HC Deb 14 May 1969 vol 783 cc219-20W
Mr. Wiggin

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food out of the 110 rejections of the agricultural investment grant between 15th May and 31st October, 1967, how many were specifically refused because the machine had been sold before the application was received.

Mr. John Mackie

I regret that this information is not available, but it is likely that a substantial proportion of these rejections were because the machine had been sold before the application was received.
