HC Deb 25 June 1952 vol 502 c172W
50. Mr. Donnelly

asked the Minister of Food whether he is aware of the sudden drop in prices for Pembrokeshire early potatoes; and what steps he is taking to safeguard both the producer and consumer interests next year.

Major Lloyd George

New potato prices are uncontrolled at this time of year. Subject to the published conditions my Department will buy surplus first-early potatoes offered between 1st September and 15th October.
