| Administrative / biographical background: |
Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF) Horticulture Division was divided in 1963 to form Horticulture Divisions 1 and 2. Horticulture Division 1 dealt with international trade in horticultural products and the UK's application to join the EEC, grading, standards and plant health. In 1977 the two divisions were once more amalgamated into a single division and in 1989 merged with the Marketing Policy and Potatoes Division to form the Horticulture and Potatoes Division. This HE series was opened in 1972 for use of Horticulture Division 1, Branch A. In 1988 Branch C assumed responsibility and in 1989 it became the responsibility of Horticulture and Potatoes Division and remains their responsibility today. |
