HC Deb 22 December 1932 vol 273 c1233
25. Sir DOUGLAS NEWTON

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is aware that a body called the Empire Farmers' Co-operative Society claims to be operating in consultation with his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter?

Major ELLIOT

I understand that it has been suggested that the society is operating in consultation with my Department, but I am informed that the society itself has authorised no such statement which, so far as I am aware, is wholly without foundation.
