HC Deb 20 October 1952 vol 505 cc72-3W
Mr. Nabarro

asked the Minister of Agriculture what Ministerial advisory facilities are available for fruit growers, in regard to future acreage and types of fruit, in view of this year's largely wasted fruit crops.

Sir T. Dugdale

Advice on specific technical problems is available to fruit growers from the National Agricultural Advisory Service. Where requested, the Service also provides more general information related to production planning. It cannot, however, undertake to give authoritative guidance on such matters as the acreages that might be devoted in future to various types of fruit or probable market conditions.
