HC Deb 10 June 1976 vol 912 c766W
35. Mr. Cryer

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on the functioning of the Potato Marketing Board.

Mr. Bishop

If my hon. Friend has in mind the board's efforts to alleviate the results of the shortfall in the 1975 crop I would refer him to the reply I gave to him on 19th January—[Vol. 903, c.340]—when I said that I was satisfied that the board had taken the action open to it. More generally, the board carries out its functions under the Potato Marketing Scheme, and its work is described in the board's published annual reports and accounts.
