HC Deb 22 February 1912 vol 34 c884W
Mr. STANIER

asked the President of the Board of Agriculture whether the Board are going to continue to collect information for their market reports and crop statistics in Scotland, or whether this will be handed over to the Scotch Department, seeing that the market reports and crop statistics in Scotland are of great value to the English farmers who buy from the Scottish farmers, and also the Scotch farmers require the English reports for their guidance?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I have been in communication with my right hon. Friend the Secretary for Scotland on this subject, which will receive further consideration when the Board of Agriculture for Scotland has been constituted. In the meantime the information will be collected as heretofore.
