HC Deb 01 July 1943 vol 390 c1783
58. Mr. Butcher

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of the contribution made to the employment of labour by horticulture, and the nutritional value of much horticultural produce, he is arranging for increased research and development in this branch of agriculture?

Mr. Hudson

Increased provision has been made since the war for national research on specifically horticultural problems, and I am sending my hon. Friend particulars.
