HC Deb 11 August 1947 vol 441 c225W
Mr. Lennox-Boyd

asked the Minister of Agriculture what official advice is given as to steps to be taken to potato growers on whose crops Colorado beetle is found.

Mr. T. Williams

Growers who find or suspect the presence of Colorado beetle on any crop are asked only to send specimens immediately to the police or direct to the Ministry's Plant Pathology Laboratory at Harpenden, Herts. All subsequent action is taken by the Ministry through the organisation specially set up for the purpose.
