HC Deb 03 July 1924 vol 175 c1507
54. Colonel Sir CHARLES YATE

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will take measures to encourage the planting of apple trees along the new roads now being constructed, with a view to an increase in the production of food in this country?

The MINISTER of TRANSPORT (Mr. Gosling)

I have been asked to answer this question, and would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the answers which I gave on the 17th June to the hon. and gallant Member for the Bilston Division, and on the 24th June to the right hon. and gallant Member for the New Forest and Christchurch Division. I am sending him copies of the questions and answers to which I have referred.

Sir C. YATE

Might I ask if the answer to that question is "Yes" or "No"?

Mr. GOSLING

The answer I have already given to the House——

Mr. SPEAKER

We are slow enough to-day, without repeating answers already given.
