asked the Miʼnister of Agriiulture what was the cost of the tour of the eight girls which the Potato Board sent on tour last summer; and whether the board regards the experiment as having been a success and that the outlay was justified?

My right hon. and gallant Friend is informed by the Potato Marketing Board that the cost of the tour referred to was £1,000. The answers to the other parts of the question are in the affirmative.
