HC Deb 07 April 1930 vol 237 cc1764-5
37. Mr. de ROTHSCHILD

asked the Minister of Agriculture the amount paid in subsidies in England and Wales under the Corn Production Acts during each year they were in operation?

Mr. N. BUXTON

Payments in connection with the guarantee of minimum prices under the Corn Production Acts were made only in respect of wheat and oats produced in 1921, and amounted, so far as England and Wales were concerned, to a total sum of £13,983,135.

Brigadier-General CLIFTON BROWN

Can the right hon. Gentleman say how much of that amount was for oats, and how much for wheat?

Mr. BUXTON

Perhaps the hon. and gallant Member will put down a question with regard to that point.
