HC Deb 18 October 1939 vol 352 c895W
Mr. Jackson

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what new methods have been found at agricultural research stations whereby a portion of the present large apple crop can be preserved; and what assistance he is giving to such schemes?

Mr. W. S. Morrison

Methods of preserving apples are known both to the public and to preserved food trades and I am not aware that any special assistance is needed. For information as to the work of agricultural research stations I would refer the hon. Member to my right hon. Friend the Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries.
