HC Deb 25 March 1948 vol 448 c369W
Mr. Heathcoat Amory

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is aware of the shortage of supplies of fertilisers in Devon; and whether he will take action to enable spring manuring to be carried out.

Mr. T. Williams

I am aware that, owing to the exceptionally early season and the heavy demand, there is some temporary shortage of fertilisers in various parts of the country. As regards the second part of the Question, I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply I gave on 22nd March to my hon. Friend the Member for Bedford (Mr. Skeffington-Lodge).
