HC Deb 22 December 1981 vol 15 cc359-60W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he is satisfied with the size and distribution of the potato yield in the United Kingdom; and whether he considers that production is excessive.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

The trend for potato yield is upwards. However, this year, because of poor growing conditions yield is below this trend and there appears to be no danger of excessive production.
