§ 54. Sir Reginald Clarryasked the Minister of Food whether he is satisfied that the present policy of making all purchases of pulse from the Dominions pass through the normal trading channels to the Cereals Import Board still continues to be satisfactory to all concerned, or whether any change in this arrangement is contemplated.
§ The Minister of Food (Colonel Llewellin)The purchase of pulse from the Dominions, through normal trade channels, has generally proved satisfactory; but exports are now controlled in most producing countries, and purchases are, therefore, now usually made on a Government-to-Government basis.
§ Sir R. ClarryIs any change from the present arrangements contemplated?
§ Colonel LlewellinNot from the arrangements which I have just announced.
