HC Deb 22 February 1934 vol 286 cc507-8
39. Lieut.-Colonel SANDEMAN ALLEN

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of the dissatisfaction among consumers of hops as to the method of allocation of the crop, he will take steps to see that the Hops Marketing Board make immediate arrangements for a more equitable distribution?

Mr. ELLIOT

I was not aware that there were any substantial grounds for dissatisfaction among consumers of hops on the question of allocation of the crop, but if my hon. and gallant Friend will supply me with particulars of the cases he has in mind, I will have inquiries made.

Viscountess ASTOR

Will the right hon. Gentleman drop hops altogether?
