HC Deb 10 December 1929 vol 233 cc283-4W
Mr. TINNE

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether he will explain the policy of His Majesty's Government with regard to the erection of grain elevators in this country; and whether he has under consideration any plans for nationalising the grain trade?

Mr. THOMAS

The question of additional elevator accommodation in this country has been discussed merely as one of a number of factors which might steady freight rates between Canada and this country. No decisions on policy have been taken. The answer to the second part of the question is in the negative.
