HC Deb 14 November 1916 vol 87 c634W
Sir H. CARLILE

asked the Secretary for Scotland why farmers, who have sent their wool to Edinburgh for sale from England prior to the decision of the Government to purchase the 1916 clip, should be unable to obtain payment for their wool; and whether he will put himself in communication with the War Office or other Department concerned in order to expedite the payment?

Mr. FORSTER

I am not aware that English farmers who sent their wool to Edinburgh before 5th June have been unable to obtain payment for it, but I shall be glad to investigate any particular cases which my hon. Friend can give me.
