1. The Committee considered a Memorandum (L.P.(45)67) by the Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries, the Secretary of State for Scotland and the Home Secretary, on the fertilizer requirements of the United Kingdom for the three years 1945-46, 1946-47, 1947-48. This proposed that for these three years the targets should be 200,000 tons of nitrogen, 400,000 tons of phosphoric acid and 200,000 tons of potash; and the Ministers asked for general approval of this programme. If dollar expenditure was to be avoided, this would entail a development of manufacturing capacity for fertilizers in the United Kingdom and an increased import of phosphate rock from North Africa.
