HC Deb 19 June 1974 vol 875 c159W
Mr. Stephen Ross

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what recent representations he has received from the British farming industry about the shortage of baler twine; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Buchan

A few cases of reported local shortages have been drawn to my attention, but I have nothing further to add to the reply given by my hon. Friend the Under-Secretary of State for Industry on 5th April to the hon. Member for Bute and North Ayrshire (Mr. Corrie).—[Ref. Vol. 871 col.469.]
