§ Mr. Edelmanasked the Minister of Food what is his policy with regard to the import of new potatoes from Brittany this year.
§ Mr. StracheyThe importation of potatoes from European France is prohibited by the Importation of Plants Order of 1947 (S.R. & O. 1947 No. 671) because of the risk of Colorado beetle infection. I regret, therefore, that I cannot include Brittany in the list of places from which new potatoes may be imported.
