§ 75. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Minister of Agriculture whether the recommendations in the eighteenth of the economic series of reports issued by the Ministry of Agriculture may be taken as the official policy of His Majesty's. Government, especially with regard to the marketing of wheat, barley, and oats; and does he propose to take any steps in the matter?
§ Captain BOWYERThe recommendations to which the hon. Member refers are in the nature of suggestions which are put before farmers, manufacturers and distributors for consideration. With this end in view, the Report has been brought to the notice of all parties concerned, and my right hon. Friend hopes to arrange for some of the suggestions to be demonstrated in practical form at agricultural shows during the coming summer. My right hon. Friend sees no necessity for any further action for the time being.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYIs the hon. Gentleman aware that these economic suggestions are part, at any rate, of the official Labour party policy with regard to agriculture?
