§ Mr. Mulveyasked the Minister of Food it he is aware that numbers of farmers in Tyrone and other parts of Northern Ireland are concerned as to how they can dispose of their potato supplies, large quantities of which are in pits on their farms; and if he will devise a scheme for the disposal of the crop now that spring is approaching and the lands must he cleared for tillage.
§ Mr. StracheyI am aware that there ate substantial quantities of potatoes on farms in Northern Ireland and am anxious that they shall be shipped in order to increase supplies in Great Britain. Any grower who has not yet made arrangements to move his potatoes should at once approach the Northern Ireland Ministry of Agriculture who act as my agents in this matter.
