HC Deb 20 July 1916 vol 84 c1221W
Mr. CAUTLEY

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, seeing that he has already fixed maximum prices for hay, clover hay, wheat and oat straw, and wool, which are the finished articles produced by farmers, he will take steps to fix maximum prices for artificial manures and for feeding-stuffs such as cakes, bran, sharps, meals, maize, etc., which are the raw materials used by farmers in such production?

Mr. FORSTER

I am afraid that I cannot see my way to adopt my hon. Friend's suggestion. The prices of the articles mentioned have not been left out of account in fixing the prices for the War Office supplies.
