HC Deb 17 June 1920 vol 130 c1440
83. Mr. A. SHORT

asked the Minister of Food whether the British farmer has been receiving a much less price per quarter for wheat from the Wheat Commission than the foreign grower; and whether he will publish a statement showing month by month since 1917 the prices paid to home and foreign growers, respectively?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

I regret that I have no precise, information sufficient to enable me to supply the hon. Member with the details which he desires.

Mr. SHORT

Cannot this information possibly be got?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

If the hon. Member approaches me, I think I can explain what the difficulty is.
