HC Deb 20 July 1909 vol 8 cc263-4
Sir WILLIAM COLLINS

asked what action has been taken by the Board of Agriculture with a view to carry out the recommendation of the Select Committee on the Hop Industry to the effect that information should be supplied to English growers as to improved methods of cultivating and curing hops, and as to the state of the industry and the markets in foreign countries?

Sir E. STRACHEY

We have asked the Foreign Office and Colonial Office to supply us with certain information on this subject, and arrangements have been made to publish articles in our Journal dealing with the cultivation and diseases of hops.
