HC Deb 25 July 1918 vol 108 c2025W
Mr. FITZPATRICK

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office if he is aware that the taking over of the entire hay crop in Ireland by the military has caused loss and inconvenience to farmers; and if he will have this Order amended so that only such hay as is required for military purposes shall be taken in future?

Mr. FORSTER

The extent to which Irish hay of the 1918 crop will be taken over has not yet been determined and the point raised by the hon. Member is receiving due consideration.
