HC Deb 26 November 1917 vol 99 cc1621-2
82. Mr. KING

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food, whether restrictions have been, or are about to be, placed on the trade of selling seed corn for agriculturists?

Mr. CLYNES

Clause 9 of the Grain (Prices) Order provides that the maximum prices under that Order shall not apply to any grain which is suitable for seed, and which is also sold specifically for the purpose of seed. No grain so sold may be used for any other purpose.
