HC Deb 14 June 1951 vol 488 c200W
Mr. Donner

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of the serious shortage of sacks, he proposes to take any measures to increase the available pre-harvest supplies.

Mr. T. Williams

Yes. A supply of two-bushel hessian sacks has been offered to farmers by my Department to augment the supply of the usual hired grain sacks. A reserve of the two-bushel sacks is also being held by county agricultural executive committees to assist farmers who find themselves short of sacks at harvest time.
