.
The Minister of State, Board of Trade
(Mr. Heathcoat Amory)
:There are no restrictions in this country on the export of potatoes to Eastern Germany.
Mr. Wells
:Would the right hon. Gentleman make that information available to the Press and to the agricultural industry, because it is generally believed that there is a prohibition in regard to this trade?
