HC Deb 02 May 1949 vol 464 c635
32. Mr. Lambert

asked the Minister of Food what steps he is taking to remove potatoes, which have been purchased by his Department, which are in clamps so sited as to make the proper cultivation of the land difficult.

Dr. Summerskill

Preference will be given to the movement of such potatoes provided the loading of deteriorating stocks is not hindered. If the hon. Member has any particular case in mind, I will gladly look into it if he will send me details.

Sir Waldron Smithers

What is the loss on last year's potato crop?

Dr. Summerskill
