HC Deb 25 October 1960 vol 627 c262W
79. Mrs. Slater

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how much crude retort house gas liquor was sold as a fertiliser for agriculture in North Staffordshire in 1959.

Mr. Godber

Fertiliser subsidy claims received from farmers in Staffordshire show that they bought about 3.8 million gallons of gas liquor in the year ending 30th June. 1959. The provisional figure for the year ending 30th June, 1960, is 4.65 million gallons. I regret that separate information for North Staffordshire could not be made available without disproportionate expenditure of time and labour.
