§ Mr. STANLEY BALDWIN(by Private Notice) asked the Prime Minister if, having regard to the extreme urgency of a definite decision being arrived at by the Government, and in view of the failure of the negotiations between the factories and farmers in respect to the sugar-beet industry, he will state whether he is or is not prepared to take such steps as will ensure the continuance of this industry?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Minister of Agriculture and the President of the Board of Trade are to-day discussing the position with the representatives of the factories. In these circumstances, I should be glad if the right hon. Gentleman would defer his question for a few days.
