HC Deb 26 July 1949 vol 467 c2245
49. Mr. Scott-Elliot

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer to what extent E.C.A. funds are at present being allotted for the purchase of Canadian wheat.

The Financial Secretary to the Treasury (Mr. Glenvil Hall)

E.C.A. funds are not at present being allotted for the purchase of Canadian wheat.

Mr. Scott-Elliot

Is my right hon. Friend aware that we have to pay in dollars for all the Canadian wheat that we import?

Mr. Glenvil Hall

I have answered the Question on the Order Paper. No funds at present are being allotted, and the question now asked is entirely different.
