HC Deb 25 February 1932 vol 262 c542
68. Mr. WELLS

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether his inspectors have condemned, on account of disease, any imported Dutch trees or shrubs offered for sale in auction markets during the last three months; and, if so, in which markets?

The MINISTER of AGRICULTURE (Sir John Gilmour)

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given to the question he addressed to me on the 10th December last. Since that date no imported Dutch trees or shrubs offered for sale in auction markets have been condemned by inspectors of my Department on account of disease.
