§ 73. Mr. ROSBOTHAMasked the Minister of Agriculture if he will consider the establishing of a national mark for British potatoes?
§ The MINISTER of AGRICULTURE (Dr. Addison)I have, for some time, been in consultation with the National Farmers' Union and the organisations representing the distributive trade, with a view to the introduction of a national mark scheme for potatoes, but up to the present it has not been found possible to overcome certain difficulties that have presented themselves.
§ Captain CROOKSHANKWill the right hon. Gentleman do anything to guarantee a national market for British potatoes?
§ Dr. ADDISONWe have a very excellent market, but the unfortunate fact is that the producers do not get a fair share of it.
