HC Deb 26 June 1947 vol 439 c94W
Lady Noel-Buxton

asked the Minister of Agriculture if supplies of potash fertilisers to farmers will continue to be subject to control in the coming fertiliser season.

Mr. T. Williams

After careful consideration of the potash supply prospects for the 1947–48 fertiliser year, in consultation with my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade, the Secretary of State for Scotland and I have decided that all restrictions now in force on the acquisition and use of potassic fertilisers shall be withdrawn as from 1st July next.
