§ 38. Captain P. MACDONALDasked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in cases where farmers outside the factory areas are unable to obtain remunerative contracts for sugar-beet owing to being required to pay the full cost of railway freightage, he will consider recommending Parliament to make a special grant for the purpose of meeting part of the cost of carriage
§ Dr. ADDISONI cannot accept the suggestion of the hon. and gallant Member.
§ Captain MACDONALDIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that farmers outside these areas are precluded from receiving any benefit at all from the present contracts made by the factories?
§ Dr. ADDISONThe arrangement recently entered into took account of all these matters.
§ Captain MACDONALDDoes not the right hon. Gentleman think that the farmers who are now outside should be brought in; or are they to be left out of these arrangements altogether?
