§ 48. Lady Apsleyasked the Minister of Agriculture whether the Agricultural Research Council has yet reported on the use of dried-sewage material on the land in place of imported inorganic fertilisers.
§ The Minister of Agriculture (Mr. R. S. Hudson)The investigations of the Agricultural Research Council on this subject are still in progress and final conclusions have not yet been reached.
§ Lady ApsleyDoes my right hon. Friend agree to the importance of a decision being made, in view of the many plans being made by rural district councils and those connected with sewage disposal?
§ Mr. HudsonWe are hurrying on the investigation as much as possible, but it is bound to take a certain length of time.
