HC Deb 14 October 1946 vol 427 cc607-8
49. Lieut.-Colonel Corbett

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster how much potash is produced in the British zone of Germany; and how it is disposed of.

Mr. J. Hynd

In July and August of this year, the total production of potash fertiliser amounted to 76,400 tons, all of which was retained in the British zone. For figures of production and allocation up to the end of June this year, I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the answer given to a Question by the hon. Member for Bodmin (Mr. Douglas Marshall) on 15th July last.
