HC Deb 06 April 1927 vol 204 c2086W
Sir A. HOLBROOK

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that the British soldiers in Shanghai are being supplied with vegetables grown by Chinese in British Columbia; that many members of the Pemberton Valley Farms' Institute have considerable stores of grade A potatoes in storage, chiefly in Vancouver, which they are finding it hard to dispose of because the market is overstocked; and whether he will give instructions for the supplies for Shanghai to be drawn from the white growers in British Columbia?

Captain KING

I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the answer given to my hon. Friend the Member for Devizes (Mr. Hurd) on 16th March last.
