HC Deb 13 March 1918 vol 104 c301
45. Captain WRIGHT

asked the Prime Minister whether any, and what, action has been taken by the Government to obviate the disadvantages of the present system of dual control by the Ministry of Food and the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries of production of home-grown food and to stimulate and encourage such production?

Mr. BONAR LAW

It is impossible for me to say more than that the whole subject, the difficulties of which I am sure my hon. Friend realises, is under the consideration of the Government.

Captain WRIGHT

Can the right hon. Gentleman say when that consideration will be completed?

Mr. BONAR LAW

No, Sir; I said I could say nothing more than that we are considering it.
