HC Deb 22 August 1940 vol 364 c1522W
Sir R. Acland

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he will make an early announcement of a minimum to be paid for the potato crop in 1941?

Mr. Boothby

This matter is now under consideration. Until a reliable estimate can be formed of the probable yield of the main crop, it is impossible to fix maximum or minimum prices.
