HC Deb 07 March 1918 vol 103 cc2137-8W
Mr. P. MEEHAN

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether, in case three or more farmers bring together such a quantity of potatoes as shall make four tons and sell that quantity at a price below £6 per ton, the Government will make up the difference in price to each individual farmer, although his particular quantity sold is under four tons?

Mr. CLYNES

I have been asked to reply to this question. The answer is in the negative.
