HC Deb 09 November 1933 vol 281 c350W
Sir T. ROSBOTHAM

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he is satisfied with the precautions that are being taken to prevent the attack of the Colorado beetle from invading this country; and, if not, will he consider extending the Order to further safeguard the potato and other crops grown at home?

Mr. ELLIOT

I think the precautions which are being taken to prevent the establishment of the Colorado beetle here should be satisfactory; but if my hon. Friend has any specific suggestions to make for further measures, I shall be very happy to consider them.
