HC Deb 18 February 1957 vol 565 c6W
89. Mr. Awbery

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps he proposes to take, by price control or otherwise, to reduce the price of potatoes and ensure that the consumers obtain some of the advantage which will accrue from a bigger supply than demand, in view of the anticipated surplus above the normal requirements in the coming season.

Mr. Godber

None. My right hon. Friend expects the public will continue to be able to obtain ample supplies of potatoes of good quality at reasonable prices throughout the current season, without intervention on his part.
