HC Deb 27 June 1917 vol 95 c400W
Mr. WATT

asked the Secretary for Scotland what provision is being made in Scotland for the supply to small-holders and others of potato sprayers; have these to be procured from the English Board; and is a proportionate number guaranteed by them for Scottish use?

Mr. MUNRO

The demand for potato sprayers in Scotland has hitherto been very limited, notwithstanding the encouragement given by the Board of Agriculture for Scotland. In existing conditions the only available supply is under the control of the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries, with whom the Scottish Board have made arrangements which it is hoped will result in securing a sufficient number.
