HC Deb 09 May 1962 vol 659 c35W
1. Sir C. Osborne

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he is aware that the acreage for growing dried peas has fallen from 77,900 in 1957 to 27,600 in 1961 owing to the large importation of Alaska peas from the United States of America; and what is his policy for reversing this decline.

Mr. Vane

I have nothing to add to the views expressed in my right hon. Friend's reply to a similar question by my hon. Friend the Member for King's Lynn (Mr. Bullard) on 2nd April.
