HC Deb 17 December 1984 vol 70 c35W
Mr. Home Robertson

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will give an estimate of the quantities of seed, fertilisers and fuel which would be required to restore agricultural production following protracted cold and dark caused by the atmospheric effects of a nuclear conflict.

Mrs. Fenner

No meaningful estimate can be given in view of the large number of assumptions required to forecast the possible effects of such conflict.
