Mr. Peter Freemanasked the Minister of Agriculture, in view of the 22W great shortage of nuts and of their preeminence in dietetic value, what steps are being taken to augment the present supply in this country by the Government, by local authorities and by encouraging private individuals to produce increased quantities.
