§ Mr. P. MEEHANasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he had received resolutions passed by public and representative bodies in Ireland calling on the Government to fix a minimum price for grain for at least three years and to reduce the standard bushel weight of Irish oats to 36 lbs. per bushel; and whether he intends taking any action in the matter?
Captain BATHURSTThe resolution referred to in the question does not appear to have been received by the Food Controller. I may, however, state that the prices guaranteed by the Government apply to the produce of Ireland equally with that of Great Britain.
