HC Deb 07 July 1944 vol 401 cc1436-7W

Mr. Parker

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether the grafting of the fruit tree root-stocks and seedlings, which are to be grown at the fruit research station, will be done at those stations, or is it proposed to sell the stocks to nurserymen for grafting.

Mr. Hudson

It is intended that the fruit tree root-stocks being grown at the fruit research stations will be distributed to nurserymen and fruit growers for grafting.
