§ 49. Colonel Ropnerasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is satisfied that this year's potato acreage will be sufficient to prevent a shortage.
Mr. T. WilliamsAccording to the March forecast, approximately 1,220,000 acres of potatoes will be grown in the United Kingdom this year. This figure is somewhat below the target of 1,300,000 acres, but with a normal yield I estimate that it will be sufficient.
