Mr. Baker White:

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he will give details of the present and future production of farm tractors made from Bren carrier parts; how many of such tractors are to be delivered to the Argentine Government; and what supplies are to be made available to British farmers.

Present production of tractors made from gun carrier parts is small, and I understand that there is so far only a small home demand for them. A demand has, however, apparently arisen in the Argentine and the extent to which this might be met by the manufacturers, having regard to available supplies of materials and other factors, is at present under consideration
