§ 82. Sir B. Jannerasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he is satisfied that the supplies of ware potatoes at present in this country will be sufficient for home consumption until the next crop is available; and what steps are being taken by him to arrange for the emergency importation of ware potatoes if necessary.
§ Mr. HoyAllowing for normal imports of new potatoes, the present prospect is that stocks of ware potatoes should be sufficient for all requirements. The situation is being closely watched and imports will be authorised should the need arise.
