HC Deb 15 November 1932 vol 270 c955W
Mr. McENTEE

asked the President of the Board of Trade what countries give a bounty for the export of wheat, barley, oats, and potatoes to this country; and what action is being taken to counteract the effects of the bounties?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I have no complete information on this subject but I can say, generally, that several European countries give assistance to agriculture which may or may not amount in practice to a bounty on export. As regards counteracting measures, it is not possible to deal adequately with the Government's agricultural policy within the limits of an answer to a question.
