79. Sir J. Duncan

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what consultations he had with the agricultural and horticultural interests concerned before making the Importation of New Potatoes and Raw Vegetables Order, Statutory Instrument, 1958, No. 312.

Mr. John Hare

None. This annual Order, made under the Destructive Insects and Pests Acts, is concerned solely with preventing the introduction of pests and diseases and differs only in minor respects from the corresponding Order made last year.
