§ 42. Mr. CHORLTONasked the Minister of Agriculture if he will take steps to arrange for power companies whose central stations are in districts like the Lea Valley to make available, by a suitable pipe system, exhaust steam for heating glass-houses at a low cost, to enable still more advantage to be taken, by rapid increase of production, of the Horticulture Importations Act?
§ Major ELLIOTI am not altogether clear as to the practicability of my hon. Friend's suggestion, but I shall be very glad to discuss it with him.
§ Mr. CHORLTONAs a lot of this kind of development depends upon heat, will the Minister institute an investigation or an inquiry into the possibility of a much wider scheme than that which I have mentioned?
§ Major ELLIOTI have already said that I shall be very glad to discuss this matter with my hon. Friend.
