HC Deb 12 April 1922 vol 153 c443W
Captain TERRELL

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether his attention has been called to the combine formed by the firms controlling the importation of South American meat into this country to restrict the quantity of these imports with the object of raising prices; and whether he will be able in any way to stimulate home production with a view to benefiting both the British farmer and the consumer?

Sir A. BOSCAWEN

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade gave yesterday to the hon. Member for Central Southwark (Mr. Gilbert). I cannot add anything to this reply.
