HC Deb 17 April 1961 vol 638 cc57-8W
37. Mr. de Freitas

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when he proposes to take the steps necessary to establish a market support fund for potatoes.

Mr. Soames

The establishment of this fund depends upon the Potato Marketing Board securing amendment of the Potato Marketing Scheme to enable it to make its contribution to the fund. I cannot say when the necessary steps under the Agricultural Marketing Act are likely to be completed.
