HC Deb 04 November 1954 vol 532 c62W
30. Sir I. Fraser

asked the Minister of Agriculture to make a statement as to the progress of bee-keeping and the amount of honey produced this year compared with last year.

Mr. Amory

The sunless weather this summer has resulted in a lower yield of honey than in 1953, although not all beekeepers have been equally unfortunate in this respect. I regret that statistics are not available.
