§ Mr. Henderson Stewartasked the Minister of Food whether, in view of the prohibition against the sale of Scottish ware potatoes in England and the likelihood of a large surplus of such potatoes this year, he will take steps to provide small potato-drying factories at Perth, Dundee and Cupar, the centres of the chief potato-growing areas in Scotland, where also the largest demands for cattle food exist?
§ Mr. W. S. MorrisonNo prohibition exists against the sale of Scottish ware potatoes in England and I have under consideration the amendment of the price schedules in the Potatoes (1939 Crop) (Control) Order, 1940, so as to encourage a freer flow of potatoes from Scotland to England. I will certainly consider my hon. Friend's suggestion in the second part of the Question.
