§ Mr. Deakinsasked the Secretary of State for Employment why he cut the current budget of the Agricultural Training Board by £50,000.

Friend could accept at a time when he is looking seriously to training boards generally to contain and, where possible, reduce their expenditure. Some boards have already managed to reduce their levy demand.
