HC Deb 13 February 1917 vol 90 c418
44. Major WHELER

asked the President of the Board of Trade if, in the interests of a larger cultivation of potatoes this year, he will reduce the present railway charges on seed potatoes by 50 per cent, for the months of February, March, and April.

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY Of the BOARD OF TRADE (Mr. G. Roberts)

As at present advised, I hardly think that the suggestion of the hon. and gallant Gentleman is one that can be adopted.
