HC Deb 16 April 1953 vol 514 c17W
24. Mr. Alport

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will consider reopening the Wickham Market Experimental Fruit Station to assist the fruit growing industry in East Anglia.

Sir T. Dugdale

No. The Wickham Market Fruit Station was sold by the East Suffolk County Council on 28th November, 1951. This small station was primarily for demonstrations and I do not contemplate re-establishing a centre of this kind.
