HC Deb 17 February 1930 vol 235 c920
63. Mr. FRANK OWEN

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of the expressed intention of arable farmers to curtain the employment of labour on their land, he will now make a statement of the policy of the Government towards the import of foreign produce?

Mr. N. BUXTON

I am not aware that arable farmers generally have expressed the intention to which the hon. Member refers. As regards the latter part of the question, I have nothing to add to statements I have already made on the subject.

Mr. OWEN

I beg to give notice that, in view of the unsatisfactory answer, I shall raise this question on the Adjournment at the earliest possible moment.
