§ Mr. PROTHEROIn reply, I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the reply given to the right hon. the Member for South Molton on the 18th February last. I am not satisfied, after careful consideration, that a sufficiently strong case for the introduction of such legislation in the interests of the nation's food supply has been made out.
