HC Deb 24 September 1931 vol 256 c1818
78. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Minister of Agriculture what measures are in contemplation to increase supplies of home-produced foodstuffs during the coming winter?

Sir J. GILMOUR

In the ordinary course of nature the supply of home-produced foodstuffs in this country during the coming winter would not now be amenable to any Government action, but if the hon. and gallant Member has any suggestions to make I shall be pleased to consider them.

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

Has the right hon. Gentleman considered steps to encourage an increase of ploughing for winter sowing as one example?
