§ Sir W. Smithersasked the Minister of Food on what basis he has fixed prices for new potatoes this year, in view of the fact that the amount of the crop, owing to conditions or weather, is uncertain.
§ Mr. StracheyThe new potato prices I recently announced are fixed at a level which, in the Government's view, will offer sufficient encouragement to growers to secure the target acreage and early lifting of the new crop when supplies of the old will be running out.
