HC Deb 02 August 1946 vol 426 c277W
Brigadier Mackeson

asked the Minister of Agriculture what increase or decrease there has been this year, as compared with 1945, in the acreages planted with first-early and second-early potatoes.

Mr. T. Williams

Statistics of potato acreage for 1946 will not be available until later this month. Such statistics distin-quish between early and maincrop, including second early, varieties, but no separate statistics relating to second earlies are collected by my Department.
