Sir F. HALLasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food if the labour boycott of Hungary will directly or indirectly affect the import of wheat into this country and operate as a factor to keep up the price of bread; and, if so, whether any statement to that effect will be published for the guidance of those responsible for the policy of stifling self-determination in another country?
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON:The extent of the Hungarian exportable wheat surplus, if any, is not yet known, and it is therefore not possible to estimate how far the immobilisation of transport from Hungary might tend to affect world supplies and prices. In any event, it is not anticipated that there will be any import of wheat from Hungary into the United Kingdom.
