HC Deb 13 May 1936 vol 312 cc396-7W
Mr. LENNOX-BOYD

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he has any statement to make on the recent visit to this country of members of the Spanish farm syndicate in an effort to promote the sale of early salads, vegetables, and flowers?

Mr. ELLIOT

I understand that representatives of the federation of two agricultural syndicates in Catalonia visited this country last November to study the market for salads and to get into touch with importers. I am informed that at the present time the president and one or two members of one of the syndicates are in London for the purpose of supervising the sale of their new potatoes.
