HC Deb 20 April 1931 vol 251 cc597-8
46. Viscount WOLMER

asked the Prime Minister whether he is yet in a position to announce the policy of the Government in respect to the undertaking which he gave on 1st August last that, as soon as the conclusions of the Imperial Conference are known, the Government will undertake whatever practicable steps can be devised to put cereal growing in this country on an economic foundation?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Ramsay MacDonald)

I can at present add nothing to the answer which I gave to the right hon. Member on the 26th January last.

Viscount WOLMER

Will the Prime Minister tell the House what he meant when he used the phrase, "as soon as the conclusions of the Imperial Conference are known." Does he mean the Imperial Conference of 1930 or the one after?

The PRIME MINISTER

The Imperial Conference of 1930.

Lieut.-Colonel ACLAND - TROYTE

Does the Prime Minister mean nothing as usual?
