HC Deb 23 July 1940 vol 363 c632W
Mr. T. Smith

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of the growing public interest in hydroponics, he will consider the publication periodically of the results of any investigations that have taken place by the Department or other responsible bodies into this process?

Mr. Hudson

A summary of the results of investigational work in hydroponics was published in the Journal of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries in November, 1938. Experiments are continuing at certain centres in this country, and reports on the work carried out have been published in scientific journals. I shall be happy to arrange that consultation shall take place between my Department and the Agricultural Research Council on the question of the publication from time to time of further summaries of the results obtained.
