15. Sir R. De la Bèreasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will give an estimate of the effect on agriculture at home of changes in supplies and prices resulting from support measures adopted by other countries.
§ Sir T. DugdaleIt would be quite impossible to make any estimate such as my hon. Friend suggests.
Sir R. De la BèreIs the Minister aware that legislation in other countries has a very real effect on the whole market here and that, whether he likes it or not, he must study the subject? It is useless for him to get up and give an answer like that. It is just hopeless. In view of the unsatisfactory nature of that reply, I shall raise this matter again. It is an absolute outrage.
