HC Deb 21 June 1965 vol 714 c159W
Sir J. Gilmour

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what percentage of the 1964 sugar beet crop was delivered by rail to the Cupar sugar factory; and what figures are available from the 1965 sugar beet contracts to show the proportion likely to be delivered by rail from this year's crop.

Mr. Ross

28 per cent. of the 1964 sugar bet crop contracted for by the Cupar factory was delivered by rail. Sufficient information is not yet available for an estimate to be made of the proportion likely to be delivered by rail in 1965.
