asked the Minister for Supplies if he will say whether he has yet fixed the price of the compound manure available for this season; and, if so, will he state the amount so fixed and whether in so doing he has taken or intends to take into account the excess profit resulting from the manufacture of phosphates last year.

The price of the compound fertiliser available for this season has been fixed at £9 per ton ex-works. In fixing the price account has been taken of the profits earned by the manufacturers during the past year.

Will the Minister say what is the analysis of that manure?

I cannot say.

Will the purchasers get the analysis of it?

That is a separate question.

Then we will get no information at all.
