HC Deb 10 February 1930 vol 235 c25
51. Mr. COCKS

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of the dumping of bounty-fed cereals into this country, he will take steps to purchase (either through a hoard or otherwise) such cereals at the lowest possible price, to retail them at a reasonable market price, and to apply the resultant profit to the benefit of British agriculture?

Mr. N. BUXTON

My hon. Friend's proposal raises the general question of an import board, a matter which, as I informed the hon. Member for Southampton on the 27th January, is being examined by the Departments concerned. I am not in a position to add to that statement.
