HC Deb 16 May 1950 vol 475 cc146-7W
102. Sir W. Darling

asked the Minister of Food, if he is aware that the subsidising of imported wheat, bacon and meat and the absence of subsidy on Scottish oats and fish is causing concern in Scotland; and if he is prepared to consider re-adjustment.

Mr. F. Willey

No, the primary object of food subsidies is to enable consumers to buy basic foods at reasonable prices, and I am satisfied that from that standpoint no adjustment is necessary.
