HC Deb 18 April 1932 vol 264 cc1244-5
37. Brigadier-General BROWN

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether any representatives of the agricultural industry in this country are accompanying the deputation to the Ottawa Conference; and what steps are being taken beforehand to ensure that British agricultural interests are safeguarded in our own home markets against increased Dominion competition?

Sir J. GILMOUR

Arrangements are being made for the inclusion of a representative of home agriculture with the business advisers who will accompany the official delegation to the Ottawa Conference. I am already in touch with representative organisations on this subject, and my hon. and gallant Friend can rest assured that home agricultural interests will be duly safeguarded.

Mr. T. WILLIAMS

Will the agricultural workers have any representatives attending Ottawa?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I could not say that.
