126. Colonel APPLIN

asked the Minister of Agriculture for What reasons the Government have been unable to accept the suggested assistance to British farmers of a tax on imported foreign malting barley?

The MINISTER of AGRICULTURE (Mr. Guinness)

I regret that I cannot add anything to the statement in the White Paper on Agricultural Policy which was issued at the beginning of the Session.

Mr. HURD

Has not the Minister, as a matter of fact, made a detailed statement on this subject in the country? Will he make it in the House of Commons?
