HC Deb 15 April 1919 vol 114 c2720
73. Mr. F. C. THOMSON

asked the Food Controller whether, in view of the large surplus of potatoes available for shipment in the North-Eastern counties of Scotland, he will reconsider the shipping arrangements already announced, and will arrange that Aberdeen be the shipping port for the North-Eastern district, there being ample storage and other facilities there for such shipments of potatoes?

Mr. McCURDY

If further sales for export are arranged on the termination of the present contracts which are being completed very shortly, the Food Controller will endeavour to arrange that potatoes are shipped from Aberdeen, provided that the necessary port facilities are then available.
