HC Deb 28 January 1930 vol 234 cc854-5W
Major COLVILLE

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is prepared to recommend control of the importation of new foreign potatoes for a definite period, in view of the position of the potato industry in Scotland?

Mr. W. ADAMSON

This is a matter which I have discussed with the agricultural interests in Scotland, and I am satisfied that the profitable marketing of an abundant home crop involves problems which would not be met by the suggestion in the hon. Member's question.
