§ Mr. Moonmanasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, in view of the important rôle played by the British agricultural industry with regard to import savings, what estimate he has made of the scale of such savings by the industry as a whole and by Essex farmers in particular.
§ Mr. John MackieIt is not possible to give figures of actual imports saved by the industry as a whole or by farmers in a particular county, but in recent years the volume of home output has risen much more than the volume of imports and I am sure Essex farmers have contributed to this.
