HC Deb 24 July 1924 vol 176 c1520
69. Mr. GILBERT

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that a district agricultural society has opened a depot in North. London and is selling milk at 4d. per quart, and that they claim to be receiving financial assistance from the Government to extend their supplies; will he state what financial help has been promised such society; and if the matter will be brought before the House for its approval?

Mr. SMITH

My right hon. Friend has seen statements on this matter in the Press, but the society in question has made no application to the Department for financial assistance

Major WHELER

May we take it that this agricultural society is not receiving any help at all from the Government?

Mr. SMITH

Yes.
