HC Deb 24 April 1956 vol 551 c131W
79. Mr. Hurd

asked the President of the Board of Trade to what extent he expects the output of fertilisers in Britain to be increased in the near future to meet increased demand.

Mr. Low

Over the next two or three years, increased output of fertilisers resulting from plans now in hand should be broadly sufficient to meet the increased expansion in United Kingdom demand which it seems reasonable to expect. There is, of course, in the United Kingdom no output of potash; our supplies are all imported.
