HC Deb 10 December 1969 vol 793 c117W
27. Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will take steps to promote the establishment of a sugar beet factory in the South-West, in view of the increased need for a break crop in Dorset and neighbouring counties and the fact that Kidderminster is a long distance away.

Mr. Hoy

No. It is the responsibility of the British Sugar Corporation to determine the location of beet sugar factories, in the light of the relevant economic considerations.
