HC Deb 22 October 1969 vol 788 c265W
47. Mr. Stodart

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement on the outcome of his discussions with the National Farmers' Union of Scotland about the proposal to close the sugar beet factory at Cupar.

Mr. Ross

The Scottish National Farmers Union asked me to intervene in a decision which was properly the concern of the British Sugar Corporation. This I felt unable to do for the reasons given to the House by my hon. Friend on 25th July.—[Vol. 787, c. 2316–31.]
