HC Deb 19 March 1974 vol 870 c77W
Mr. Spence

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will immediately review the ban on ware potato exports from the United Kingdom; and if he will make a statement on his estimate of the effect of the ban on the interests of potato producers

Mr. Buchan

I would refer the hon. Member to my right hon. Friend's speech on the Loyal Address. The ban on exports of ware potatoes should have little effect on the interests of potato producers generally, although producers in some areas, who would have sold for export, may receive somewhat lower prices on the home market.—[Vol. 870, c. 394.]
