§ Question again proposed.
§ 10.1 p.m.
§ Mr. John Wells (Maidstone)I deplore the conduct of the Financial Secretary in seeking to shut me up earlier in an arrogant and impertinent manner. Furthermore I deplore the hon. Gentleman's cheap remarks about pages of the Daily Telegraph on the larder shelves of my right hon. Friend the Member for Finchley (Mrs. Thatcher). The hon. Gentleman shows himself up to be a remarkably cheap, smirkish and poor little operator. He referred to my absence at certain earlier stages of the debate. I apologise to the House for my absence at an earlier stage, but I am present now and I am entitled to make my contribution.
The hon. Gentleman said that the agricultural provisions—
§ Mr. Russell Kerr (Feltham and Heston)On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. Is not the hon. Member for Maidstone (Mr. Wells) abusing the processes of the House?
§ Mr. SpeakerOrder. This is exempted business.
§ Mr. WellsThe Financial Secretary said that the agricultural provisions had been dealt with. The more he does me the courtesy of attending to what I am saying now, the shorter my speech will be. But the longer he goes on nattering below his breath to his hon. Friend the Chief Secretary, the longer I shall continue. Therefore, I suggest that if the two junior Ministers would do me the courtesy of attending, the quicker I shall be and the sooner they will get home to their beds; but until they do me that common courtesy I shall go on.
What I and the farming community want to know is what are the Government's intentions about the entire farming problem which is created by the Bill. The particular point I sought to raise, which the hon. Gentleman failed to answer, concerned the position of a bona fide working farmer who happens to be a director of a farming company and whose farm happens to be belong to a farming company. If the hon. Gentleman would be kind enough to look at page 96 of the Bill, lines 27 and 28, he would see that it deals with the man only and not with his company.
What the farming community wish to know is whether the Government will do anything to maintain food production, because all the clauses dealing with agriculture are a penalty to the farming community, even to the small farmer, and are causes of great anxiety. I believe that hon. Members on the Government side of the House—even if the Chancellor yawns until he goes to sleep —must realise that the food that fills the Chancellor's fat stomach will be very scarce next year unless the Government change their entire attitude to the agricultural community.
