HC Deb 03 February 1930 vol 234 c1487
38. Mr. HURD

asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department if he will gather information and issue a Report on the character and results as affecting producer, consumer, and miller, of the legislation requiring the milling of a proportion of home-grown wheat which is in force in Germany, France, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, and other countries, with especial regard to the possible adoption of similar legislation in this country?

The MINISTER of AGRICULTURE (Mr. Noel Buxton)

I have been asked to reply. I am endeavouring to obtain information as to the character, administration and results of the legislation referred to in countries that have adopted it, and if I consider this information, when obtained, to be of general interest I will arrange for it to be summarised and for publicity to be given to it in some convenient form.

Mr. HURD

Does the right hon. Gentleman also propose to put this information before the Agricultural Conference?

Mr. BUXTON

Yes, Sir.
