Duchess of ATHOLLasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that German oats are being sold in this country at prices very prejudicial to home farmers: if these prices are due in part to any form of State action; and, if so, what action he proposes to take?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANI am informed that the prices ruling here for imports of oats from Germany (which are now relatively small in proportion to imports from other sources) have recently been somewhat higher than those ruling for imports from elsewhere. The second and third parts of the question do not, therefore, arise.
