HC Deb 21 November 1974 vol 881 cc478-9W
Mr. Torney

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he has considered how the recommendations to farmers contained in the report by the Economic Development Committee for Agriculture on Grass and Grass Products might best be disseminated to the industry.

Mr. Bishop

In view, however, of the significant increases in productivity which could result from the better management of grassland and the more effective use of grass my right hon.
