§ 80. Viscount WOLMERasked the Minister for Agriculture when the Agricultural Conference last met and when it is going to meet again?
§ Mr. N. BUXTONI would refer the Noble Lord to the reply given to a similar question on 14th April, to which there is at present nothing to add.
§ Viscount WOLMERIs it not a fact that this Conference adjourned more than a month ago because the Government had no policy?
§ Mr. BUXTONThe Conference adjourned to await the results of certain technical examinations, and, having consulted several members of the Conference, I find that the wish is to defer meeting until those examinations are complete.
§ Viscount WOLMERWhy did not the right hon. Gentleman make those examinations of policy before he made his election pledges?
