HC Deb 03 December 1947 vol 445 c69W
68. Mr. Hastings

asked the Minister of Food what steps he proposes to take to make certain that none of the potatoes reserved for seed are used as food.

Dr. Summerskill

Buyers of seed potatoes are required to certify that the seed will be planted, and shop sales of quantities of less than I cwt. are at present prohibited so that stocks are not dissipated before the planting season is reached.
