HC Deb 22 June 1966 vol 730 c92W
Mr. Wolrige-Gordon

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland, following the tests on Charolais cattle, under what conditions has it been proved a useful crossing breed; and whether these tests are all now complete.

Mr. Ross

The tests carried out under normal commercial conditions in Scotland confirmed the result of similar tests in England and Wales that the Charolais bull is a worthwhile addition to the range of crossing bulls available to beef producers. All of the original tests have been completed.
