30. Earl WINTERTONasked the Minister of Agriculture whether it is his intention to introduce legislation during the present Session to establish machinery for the control buying of grain in order to carry out the policy usually known as stabilization?
§ Mr. N. BUXTONThis proposal is being studied by my Department. I am not in a position to make a statement as to legislation on the subject.
Earl WINTERTONCan the right hon. Gentleman say what further time will be required before he finally makes up his mind whether or not to adopt this policy?
§ Mr. BUXTONThe policy remains the policy of the Government. The legislation I am not yet able to announce.
Earl WINTERTONDo I understand that the right hon. Gentleman has accepted the scheme of the hon. Member for East Leicester (Mr. Wise) in its entirety?
§ Mr. BUXTONThat does not arise out of the original question.
