asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will indicate what has caused the precipitous drop in the value of machinery held by his Department under the land project, as the value shown in the Volume of Estimates is £200,000 while he has stated the value to be not less than £350,000.

The figure of £200,000 is a conservative estimate of the amount that may be received for such of this machinery as may be disposed of in the financial year 1953-54 and is not to be taken as representing the present market value of the machinery which cost originally £360,000.
