78. Mr. Alport

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether the Tomato and Cucumber Marketing Board is included in the negotiations taking place from time to time with regard to tariffs, quotas, etc., affecting this branch of the horticultural industry.

Sir T. Dugdale

The Tomato and Cucumber Marketing Board is associated with the National Farmers' Unions in that part of their application for a revision of the existing tariff on horticultural produce which relates to tomatoes and cucumbers. The Board's representatives have taken part in discussions with the Departments concerned on this and other questions relating to the import of tomatoes and cucumbers.
