§ Mr. Harold Daviesasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will appoint marketing officers within the National Agricultural Advisory Service so that farmers can obtain advice and information on markets and the needs of those markets.
§ Mr. Scott-HopkinsAs part of its farm management work, the N.A.A.S. is now giving more advice to the individual farmer on meeting market requirements and the staff on this work is being strengthened. The N.A.A.S. also features marketing in its general educational activities. We are not, however, proposing to appoint specialist marketing officers within the N.A.A.S.
