HC Deb 19 July 1923 vol 166 c2528W
Brigadier-General SPEARS

asked the Minister of Agriculture what steps he is taking with a view to obtaining and publishing more comprehensive information regarding the total annual production of fruit and vegetable crops, as recommended by Lord Linlithgow's Committee?

Sir R. SANDERS

Steps have been taken this year, in connection with the annual agricultural returns, to obtain information which will assist in enabling an estimate to be made of the total annual production of fruit. As a result, I hope it may be possible to publish some additional information, and I shall consult representative growers' associations on the subject.
