HC Deb 02 March 1933 vol 275 cc540-1
78. Lieut.-Colonel HENEAGE

asked the Minister of Agriculture how many times agricultural prices from Lincolnshire towns have been broadcast in the last month, and what those towns were?

Major ELLIOT

The prices of livestock and other agricultural produce are not broadcast in respect of any Lincolnshire market.

Lieut.-Colonel HENEAGE

In view of the fact that Lincolnshire is the second largest county in England, will my right hon. and gallant Friend take into consideration the fact that the local farmers' prices are not broadcast?

Major ELLIOT

I shall be very glad to consider any suggestion that my hon. and gallant Friend may care to put before me.

Mr. GLOSSOP

Seeing that the prices broadcast by the British Broadcasting Corporation are very misleading, is not Lincolnshire in fact very lucky that its farmers' prices in their markets are not broadcast?
