§ Sir A. Bossomasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will consult the British Broadcasting Corporation with a view to the broadcasting of a weekly bulletin of ten minutes to a quarter of an hour at breakfast-time from the end of March to the end of July to let farmers of each region have up to date information regarding the right date to spray the various crops and the best type of spray to use.
Mr. AmoryVariations in climatic conditions would make it difficult to adopt 61W my hon. Friend's suggestion. I am satisfied, however, that farmers generally are well informed on spraying problems and that adequate advice is available to them from the trade and the National Agricultural Advisory Service.
