HC Deb 03 February 1930 vol 234 cc1522-3W
Mr. BLINDELL

asked the Minister of Agriculture what steps have been taken to put into operation the Government's policy to stabilise prices for agricultural produce; and whether he has taken, or proposes to take, action in order to stabilise prices for the growers of British potatoes?

Mr. N. BUXTON

In regard to the first part of the question, I am not in a position to add anything to the answer I gave to the question by the Noble Lord the Member for Horsham (Earl Winterton) on 23rd December, a copy of which I am sending to the hon. Member. In regard to the second part of the question, the stabilisation of potato prices is primarily a marketing problem, and I would refer my hon. Friend to the answers which I gave on 4th December and 16th December to questions on this subject, copies of which I am also sending him.
