Apart from the representations I have received from the very small percentage of people who were too late in asking for forms or submitting applications, I have received no complaint that the method of notice, through the agricultural executive committees, the Scottish National Farmers' Union, and Press and the wireless, has been inadequate in past hill cattle subsidy schemes. As regards further schemes, I shall keep in view the hon. Member's suggestion about individual notification, although there would clearly be disadvantages in substituting such an arrangement for the present practice.
