HC Deb 11 May 1931 vol 252 cc809-10
47. Viscount WOLMER

asked the Prime Minister whether he intends to defer the announcement of his proposals to put cereal growing on an economically sound basis until after the Ottawa Conference; and whether he will give an undertaking that the announcement shall in any case be made before the end of September, in order that farmers may be aware of its terms before they sow their crops?

The PRIME MINISTER

I regret, but I have nothing to add to previous statements on this subject.

Viscount WOLMER

Cannot the Government give any indication at all when they are going to make this announcement?

The PRIME MINISTER

That is just what I have said.

Viscount WOLMER

In view of the Government's unsatisfactory answer, I propose to raise this matter on the Adjournment.
