HC Deb 09 April 1919 vol 114 c2039
91. Captain SHAW

asked the Food Controller if he can say the tonnage of potatoes which he intends to export per week from Scotland to the Continent of Europe; and whether he has arranged for the necessary shipping facilities?

Mr. McCURDY

The tonnage of potatoes to be exported from Scotland to the Continent of Europe will depend upon the result of negotiations now proceeding with the German Government. Shipping facilities have been arranged to lift the potatoes already contracted for, and further tonnage will be made available as required.
