§ Mr. N. Macphersonasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what steps are being taken to increase the shipments of potash to this country from Germany.
§ Mr. H. WilsonI have been asked to reply. We have contracted to buy during the current season all the potash which the Russian zone of Germany was prepared to sell us. More than 50 per cent. of our requirements are being met from this source. Efforts are being made to increase production in the British zone and we have also secured a small quantity from there.
