HC Deb 28 September 1944 vol 403 cc417-8
54. Captain Strickland

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of the selected list of stockists issued for steel sheets and bolts, it is the Government's policy to encourage trade through the agricultural executive committees; and whether, in selecting traders, regard is had to the fact of whether or no such traders have previously handled these-types of goods.

Mr. Hudson

I do not know what my hon. and gallant Friend has in mind in referring to a selected list of stockists, but in any case the answer to the first part of the Question is in the negative.
