HC Deb 07 July 1915 vol 73 c360
42. Sir JOHN HARMOOD-BANNER

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will furnish a return of the profits made on the purchases and imports of wheat from the Argentine during the last six months; and whether it is intended to continue purchases of wheat from that quarter?

Mr. ACLAND

No complete account of the transactions referred to by the hon. Member can yet be given. The corn trade associations were informed on the 13th April last that the Government had ceased to buy wheat.
