§ 65. Mr. Haymanasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will make a statement on the prospects of marketing the broccoli crop of Cornwall this winter.
§ Mr. Scott-HopkinsThis year's Cornish broccoli crop, which promises to be a good one, is a fortnight to three weeks earlier than usual, and the first of the Cornish supplies are having to compete with the last of the heavy autumn crop from other areas. I have no reason to expect that, when the autumn crop is over, Cornish growers will not be able to market their broccoli as usual, always provided that we do not have an abnormally hard winter.
