§ 28. Mr. Piratinasked the Minister of Food what price is being paid for the maize, barley and oats now imported from the Soviet Union; and how this compares with prices of grain offered to us by other countries.
§ Dr. SummerskillIt would not be in the public interest to disclose at present the price paid for the coarse grains being imported from the U.S.S.R.
§ Mr. PiratinCan the Parliamentary Secretary answer the second part of the Question, in view of the fact that the President of the Board of Trade stated a few weeks ago that the price of grain from Russia is exceedingly high and is much higher than the prices of other countries, and it is important to get the evidence?
§ Dr. SummerskillPerhaps the hon. Member will await until the Trade and Navigation Returns are published at the end of November.
