§ Mr. de Freitasasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will make a statement on the British successes in the World Wheat Seed Championships at the Toronto Royal Agricultural Fair; and the possibilities of expanding the export of seed to North America.
§ Sir T. DugdaleI am glad to inform the House that of 129 British entries for the Seeds Competition at the 1953 Royal Agricultural Winter Fair, Toronto, 102 won awards, including the Championship Ribbon for Winter Wheat and the Reserve Championship Ribbons for Flax and Pea Seeds respectively. I am sending the hon. Member a list of the British awards. I hope that increased exports of British seeds will follow.
