HC Deb 13 February 1917 vol 90 c434
25. Mr. ELLIS DAVIES

asked whether, in view of the dissatisfaction among farmers as to the valuation of wool, he can arrange that the wool shall be valued on delivery, as was previously the case?

Mr. FORSTER

In making arrangements for the collection of the 1917 clip, every effort will be made to secure that valuation shall be made as soon after delivery as the depleted staffs of the wool merchants will allow.

Mr. E. DAVIES

Will he arrange that the wool shall be valued on delivery?

Mr. FORSTER

As far as possible. We are going into the question of what arrangement can be made for taking over the 1917 clip, and all these considerations will be very carefully inquired into.

Mr. G. LAMBERT

Will he say what the price of the 1917 clip will be?

Mr. FORSTER

I am afraid I cannot say.
