HC Deb 18 April 1923 vol 162 c2046
95. Dr. CHAPPLE

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he can give an estimate of the amount of potash that would be used by farmers for manurial purposes if large quantities could be secured from Germany in the form of reparations on account and sold to those farmers who could use it to advantage at actual cost price?

Major BARNSTON

I have been asked to reply. My right hon. Friend is not prepared to attempt the estimate for which the hon. Member asks. The amount of potash that could be profitably unemployed entirely depends on the prices of agricultural produce.
