HC Deb 16 December 1954 vol 535 cc194-5W
107. Mr. Kenyon

asked the Minister of Food if he is satisfied that the potato stocks will meet the requirements of the markets until the new crop is ready for lifting.

Dr. Hill

That is the present estimate; but as a small part of the crop is still in waterlogged ground and the keeping quality of some other stocks is doubtful, the possibility of some temporary and local shortages towards the end of the season cannot be excluded.
