HC Deb 14 February 1963 vol 671 cc225-6W
Captain Kerby

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what advice he has given the Potato Marketing Board regarding the acreage of potatoes to be planted in 1963.

Mr. Scott-Hopkins

None. The Potato Marketing Board is, of course, familiar with the Government's general production objective on potatoes, which is that the acreage planted in the United Kingdom should be sufficient, given average yields, to provide an adequate supply of potatoes at reasonable prices.
