HC Deb 12 November 1940 vol 365 c1601W
Mr. Wootton-Davies

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is aware of the growing dissatisfaction among farmers over their treatment in respect of payment for products, which is often postponed, while on the other hand the farmer is often compelled to hold his stock which he would otherwise market or, in the case of poorer cultivators, pay cash for such commodities as paraffin; and whether he investigate with a view to change, the better financial treatment of agriculturists?

Mr. Hudson

I am not aware of any general dissatisfaction such as is mentioned by my hon. Friend but if he will give me details of any particular cases he has in mind, I shall be glad to look into them.
