§ Mr. de Rothschildasked the Minister of Agriculture, whether, in view of the importance of maintaining a good crop of sugar-beet this year, he will see to it that contract terms are announced well in advance, so that farmers may have a sufficient opportunity of planning their cropping?
Mr. HudsonSugar beet prices for 1941 were announced at the middle of September, and I am sending copies of the relevant announcements to my hon. Friend. Contract forms will be distributed to growers on 9th October.
