§ Mr. Richard Wainwrightasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what evidence he has that the price of seed potato is causing more potato producers to use once-grown seed.
§ Mr. BishopMost producers of ware potatoes use a proportion of once-grown seed. I have no evidence that more producers intend to do so this season. There has, indeed, been a lively demand for certified seed of varieties which showed good resistance to drought and leaf roll last season.
