HC Deb 26 November 1914 vol 68 cc1318-9
106. Mr. LEACH

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Agriculture if the Government will offer some extra inducement to British farmers to put more land under wheat, seeing that the imports from some of the countries from which we drew four-fifths of our supplies will be much less, owing to the fact that many of their male workers on the land are at war?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of AGRICULTURE (Sir Harry Verney)

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave to the hon. Member for Wilton on 9th September.
