HC Deb 12 May 1915 vol 71 cc1641-2
49. Mr. HOUSTON

asked the Prime Minister when he will give the day promised for the discussion of the question of the purchases of wheat by the Government?

The PRIME MINISTER

A day can be fixed in the ordinary way, but I do not think it would be in the public interest that the discussion should take place at an early date.

Mr. HOUSTON

Is the right hon. Gentleman not aware of the increase in the price of bread, and would it not be well to have an early date so that any misunderstanding may be removed?

The PRIME MINISTER

I am aware of all those facts.
