§ 65. Mr. Godberasked the Minister of Agriculture the estimated tonnage of sugarbeet still unharvested and waiting for delivery at the latest convenient date; and whether he will take steps to see that sufficient factory space is kept open to 44W handle the quantity of sugarbeet still waiting to be harvested and delivered at present.
Mr. AmoryIt is estimated that about 45,000 tons of sugarbeet still remain to be delivered to the factories. The British Sugar Corporation, I understand, have arranged for five factories to continue to operate so long as enough sound beet is being delivered to enable them to work economically.
