asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will state the possibilities of importing basic slag during the months ahead for use next winter and spring.
Written Answers to Questions. - Importation of Basic Slag.
Negotiations are at present in progress with a number of countries for the supply of fertilisers, including basic slag for use next season. Until these negotiations are completed I cannot give details of the exact quantities which will be available. I can state, however, that much larger supplies of both basic slag and superphosphates are likely to be available next season than were distributed in the season just ended.
