§ Mr. Jacksonasked the Minister of Agriculture what plans he has made to provide adequate fruit tree and bush stocks to meet the demand for post-war planting.
Mr. HudsonI have asked County War Agricultural Executive Committees to allow fruit-growers, as well as nurserymen, to use their land for planting root stocks and propagating fruit trees provided they are satisfied that the applicant has the necessary skill and facilities to raise the trees properly. The Fruit Research Stations will also grow large quantities of stocks and seedlings.
