HC Deb 20 January 1948 vol 446 c17
24. Mr. Rankin

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what arrangements he has made to distribute linseed seeds to farmers.

Mr. Woodburn

Pedigreed linseed seed is being imported from Canada in sufficient quantity to meet estimated requirements for sowing in Great Britain in 1948. This seed will be distributed through the usual trade channels who do not anticipate any difficulty in meeting the Scottish demand.

Mr. Rankin

Mr. Woodburn
