HC Deb 27 February 1958 vol 583 c58W
83. Mr. Willey

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what use is being made of anhydrous ammonia fertiliser; and what steps are being taken to encourage its more extensive use.

Mr. John Hare

I am not aware that any significant use is being made in this country of this material as a fertiliser. It would be expensive to use and it appears at present to have no advantages over the usual nitrogenous fertilisers.
