HC Deb 14 July 1960 vol 626 c125W
Mr. Holt

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what reply he has made to the representations made to him by certain local authorities requesting that the fertiliser subsidy be payable on organic fertilisers, such as those produced at sewage works; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Hare

The local authorities have been informed that I should not feel justified in including such materials in the fertiliser subsidy scheme, for the reasons given in the reply which I made to the hon. Member for Dartford (Mr. Sydney Irving) about this matter on 7th July.
