HC Deb 20 March 1930 vol 236 c2094
54. Sir K. WOOD

asked the Prime Minister whether he proposes this Session to give facilities for parliamentary proposals to set up a controlling import board with powers for regulating imports of foodstuffs?

The PRIME MINISTER

The right hon. Gentleman will appreciate that the scheme referred to is of a nature which precludes me from assuming that any little Parliamentary time now at my disposal would be sufficient to pass it into law this Session.

Sir K. WOOD

Is the Prime Minister aware that yesterday morning warm approval of this project was expressed by the new official capitalist organ of the Labour party?
