§ 56. Mr. Saltasked the Minister of Agriculture when he anticipates it will be possible to make a statement upon the future agricultural policy of this country; and whether he can give an assurance that the recommendations contained in the recent Report of the Parliamentary and Scientific Committee on this subject will be taken into account in the preparation of that policy.
Mr. HudsonI would refer my hon. Friend to my replies to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Howdenshire (Colonel Carver) and my hon. Friend the Member for Bodmin (Mrs. Wright) on 28th September.
§ Mr. SaltHas my right hon. Friend seen the leading article in last week's "Economist"? If so does he not agree that the policy enunciated there will very much perturb the agricultural community?
§ Mr. W. J. BrownDoes my right hon. Friend realise that if he adds nothing to nothing, the answer is still nothing?
