Exporting vegetables
Sir,—ln Saturday's issue, I read that the Undersecretary of Agriculture spoke of the possibility of exporting vegetables. How does he expect good results when he holds his dummy—a filthy, stinking pipe—in his mouth, polluting the goods? For total inconsideration to the producers and consumers Ms photograph on page two of your newspaper would be hard to beat.—Yours, etc., WALTER MILES. May 31, 1971. [The press officer of the Minister of Agriculture replies: “The Under-Secretary to the Minister of Agriculture, Mr Dick, is heavily engaged in Parliamentary business and has asked me to say that he has no comment to make on Mr Miles’s letter
other than to express his surprise that ‘The Press’ would consider publishing a letter couched in such immoderate terms.”]
