§ Mr. Ness Edwardsasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he has considered the complaint of South Wales farmers that orders for lime are so long delayed in delivery as to have a serious effect on food output; and what steps he is taking to deal with the complaint?
Mr. HudsonI have received a number of complaints of delay in delivering lime in South Wales, which are being investigated. I am hopeful that plans recently brought into operation for accelerating the transport of agricultural lime will lead to an improvement in the position.
