46. Mr. De la Bèreasked the Prime Minister whether he is now in a position to state the name of the Member of the 459 War Cabinet who is now to preside over the committee dealing with agriculture?
§ The Prime MinisterMy right hon. Friend the Lord Privy Seal will preside over the committee in question.
Mr. De la BèreDoes my right hon. Friend realise that up to now we have not had a clearly denned policy in regard to food production; and will it be the task of the Lord Privy Seal to visualise something rather more than the indiscriminate ploughing-up programme, so that we may have the maximum output?
§ The Prime MinisterI cannot accept my hon. Friend's view.
