Captain McEWENasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is aware that the dates fixed under the Horticultural Products (Emergency Customs Duties) Act, 1931, for the import of plums, strawberries, gooseberries, turnips, and cauliflowers are unsuited to Scottish conditions; and whether he will now take steps to alter the dates to meet the Scottish growers' needs?
