HC Deb 07 March 1918 vol 103 cc2103-4
63. Mr. WRIGHT

asked the Minister of Munitions if he will publish a list of the centres to which farmers may send their seed for electrical treatment?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of AGRICULTURE (Sir Richard Winfrey)

The process to which the hon. Member alludes is still in an experimental stage, and the Board are not prepared to advise farmers to adopt the process and to establish centres for the treatment of seed on a commercial scale.

Captain WRIGHT

Is this process being dealt with in a practical way for the benefit of farmers?

Sir R. WINFREY

The matter is receiving very careful attention.
