HC Deb 18 February 1971 vol 811 cc559-60W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is aware of the concern about the prospects of the early potato industry in the South-West of Scotland due to the increase in potato imports from Cyprus; and what steps he proposes to take to remedy the situation.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

The Scottish Early Potato Growers' Association has written about this. The early potato market varies from year to year and it is too early yet to say what the situation will be this summer.
