HC Deb 12 May 1930 vol 238 cc1456-7W
Mr. RAMSBOTHAM

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether it is the intention of His Majesty's Government to introduce an Agricultural Marketing Bill during the present Session; and whether he proposes to take into full account the views of all those engaged in agriculture in drawing up the terms of this Measure?

Mr. BUTLER

asked the Minister of Agriculture if, in view of the introduction of the Consumers Council Bill, he will consider bringing forward a Measure safeguarding prices to the pro- ducers of home-grown agricultural produce, as has been done for the coal producers?

Dr. ADDISON

My right hon. Friend is not in a position to make a further statement on the subject at present.
