HC Deb 26 February 1919 vol 112 c1761W
Mr. HARRY HOPE

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Agriculture whether, in view of maintaining an adequate rotation of green cropping, he can now announce if there will or will not be a guaranteed price for the 1919 crop of late potatoes?

Mr. McCURDY

I have been asked to reply. Having regard to all the circumstances, the Food Controller has decided not to take over the 1919 potato crop, and an announcement to this effect has already been made. He further anticipates that it will not be necessary either to fix prices or to interfere with the normal methods of its distribution.
