HC Deb 27 May 1930 vol 239 c972
13. Mr. WOMERSLEY

asked the Lord Privy Seal if, in view of the contemplated exportation to Great Britain of large quantities of flour by the Grain Stabilisation Corporation of the United States, he is taking any steps to safeguard the employment of the workers in the British milling industry?

Mr. THOMAS

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which was given by the Parliamentary Secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries to the hon. Member for Penrith and Cocker-mouth (Mr. Dixey) on the 14th instant, to which, at the moment, there is nothing to add.

Mr. WOMERSLEY

Am I to understand that the right hon. Gentleman himself has consulted with the Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries on the question?
