HC Deb 08 June 1931 vol 253 c633W
Mr. WELLS

asked the Minister of Agriculture if all consignments of plants, shrubs or trees imported from foreign countries in wooden cases or other materials are opened for inspection in order to prevent the spread of disease in this country?

Dr. ADDISON

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave to the question put by him on 16th April which explained the procedure followed with regard to the importation of plants, trees and shrubs. I am sending the hon. Member a copy.
