§ Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what plans he has for developing in North-East Scotland an industry for converting beet into sugar and for encouraging farmers to grow the relevant crops.
§ Mr. RossNone. All sugar beet in Scotland is grown under contract to the British Sugar Corporation's factory at Cupar. Farmers who wish to grow the 107W crop and consider that their land is suitable should approach the Corporation's officials at Cupar with a view to obtaining a contract.
