HC Deb 15 March 1948 vol 448 cc1696-7
53. Mr. Gerald Williams

asked the Minister of Agriculture when he expects to publish the report on the storage treatment of daffodil bulbs for forcing.

Mr. T. Williams

No such report is being prepared for publication at present.

Mr. G. Williams

In view of the fact that these bulbs can be forced in the open without any cost and that it would save importing mimosa blooms from France, will the right hon. Gentleman hurry up the report, which is eagerly awaited by a large number of people?

Mr. T. Williams

I understand that at the recent demonstration at Gulval a large number of farmers were present. I can assure the hon. Gentleman that we shall keep growers in touch with developments.
