HC Deb 05 June 1930 vol 239 cc2383-4
Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

(by Private Notice) asked the Prime Minister what steps he has taken to implement the promise he gave that he would invite the Leaders of the two Opposition parties to enter into conference with the Government on the question of agriculture, and what response he has had to his invitation?

The PRIME MINISTER

I have communicated with the Leaders of the two Opposition parties. The Leader of the Conservative Opposition has replied yesterday asking for some further information on certain points. This information I will send him as soon as possible. I have received the reply of the right hon. Gentleman himself, and this is favourable.

Mr. BRACKEN

Does not the Prime Minister think that the best possible means of co-operation would be to appoint the right hon. Gentleman Minister of Agriculture?
