§ Sir D. Whiteasked the Minister of Agriculture whether in view of the delay in the delivery of potash fertilisers in Norfolk, he will give any information on the subject.
§ Mr. BelcherI have been asked to reply. I would refer the hon. Member to the replies I gave to the hon. Members for Newbury (Mr. Hurd) and Tonbridge (Mr. G. Williams) on 4th February and to the hon. and gallant Member for Ludlow (Lieut.-Colonel Corbett) on 11th February. During the past few weeks the rate of arrivals of potash in this country has greatly increased, but supplies are not yet sufficient to meet current demand. Each area of the country is receiving its fair share of the total United Kingdom supply.
