HC Deb 25 November 1931 vol 260 cc399-400
45. Mr. SMITHERS

asked the Prime Minister whether it is his intention to make any announcement before the House adjourns for the Christmas Recess with regard to the proposals to insist upon the purchase by the defence Services of British meat and wheat?

The PRIME MINISTER

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave on 16th November in reply to a question by my hon. Friend the Member for West Renfrew (Mr. Wedderburn).

Mr. SMITHERS

Will the right hon. Gentleman still remember that the agricultural industry is anxiously awaiting a decision?
