HC Deb 22 March 1937 vol 321 c2546
29. Mr. De la Bère

asked the Minister of Agriculture what are the reasons for the delay in the expansion of production in all branches of British agriculture, in view of the almost inevitable increase in the cost of living due to the rise in price of all commodities?

Mr. W. S. Morrison

During recent years there has been a considerable expansion in several branches of home agriculture. Between 1930—31 and 1935—36 the volume of the total agricultural output in England and Wales increased by 14 per cent.
