HC Deb 11 December 1968 vol 775 cc161-2W
Mr. Buchanan-Smith

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he will conduct the next survey of fertiliser practice.

Mr. Ross

Following the programme of comprehensive surveys in 1956–65, it was decided that further surveys should be undertaken at longer intervals of perhaps five years. Meantime there is continuing study and experiment, the results of which are incorporated by the Agricultural Colleges in their advisory service and literature.
