§ 45. Mr. OSWALD LEWISasked the Prime Minister whether he will consider the advisability of appointing a commission, or other suitable body, for the pur- 2087 pose of making an exhaustive inquiry into the organisation of the corn trade and the present position of our wheat supplies?
§ The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Ramsay MacDonald)The examination which is at present being conducted by the Government into the proposal to establish a board for the bulk purchase of grain also involves examination into the subjects referred to by the hon. Member, and I do not think that any useful purpose would be served by the appointment of a special commission, as he suggests.
§ Mr. LEWISCan the right hon. Gentleman give the House any idea when the conclusions of this body are likely to be laid before the House?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI cannot say.
